Mississippi wildlife officials are gearing up for the upcoming alligator hunting season. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks (MDWFP) has opened permit applications for public waters draw.
Andrew Arnett, the MDWFP Alligator Program Coordinator, answered common questions about the season, including details about permits and what hunters can expect this year. He encouraged interested hunters to submit their applications promptly.
Officials noted that hunters can find additional information and submit questions on the department’s website. The MDWFP also welcomed questions not covered in the initial guidance, inviting the public to reach out through their online resources.
The season typically attracts numerous participants, and permits are limited. Hunters are advised to review all rules and deadlines to ensure participation in the upcoming season.
