On April 25, 2017, Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries passed the new law to take effect starting the opening of gun season to legally spotlight deer after dark but only after they leave there stands. Due to the high volume of deer and locals complaining of hitting deer while driving there will be a one time leisure for spotlighting. Hunters must be legally possess a hunting license and may use any weapon of their choice.
