Dale Branch Creek is a 20-acre private land turkey hunting property near Scooba, Mississippi, in Kemper County.

Eastern wild turkey numbers are high in this part of the state. The property mixes pine uplands with oak and hickory hardwoods, and Dale Branch Creek runs through it with a large block of timber on every side. Get in early, listen for birds gobbling off the roost, and set up along the creek or where the pines meet the hardwoods.

Only one hunter or party is booked at a time, so nobody else will be working the same birds on this property. Park at the landowner’s gate and walk the trail in. A portable ground blind is fine, just pack it out when you’re done.

Spring turkey hunts are two days, and you can hunt with a shotgun or a bow. Mississippi turkey licenses are sold over the counter with no draw, and every bird has to be reported through MDWFP Game Check. Season dates and limits are posted at mdwfp.com. Scooba has a motel, and Meridian is the place for more lodging and food.

This property sits in the southern mixed oak-pine forest of east Mississippi. Loblolly and shortleaf pine cover the higher ground, while oaks and hickories grow on the richer soils, and Dale Branch Creek runs a natural travel corridor through the middle of it all. That blend of pine and hardwood timber gives turkeys roosting cover, room to feed, and natural routes to travel. Listen for birds gobbling from the timber at daybreak, then position yourself along the creek corridor or the edges where pine and hardwood meet.

After your hunt, you will be sent an automated Harvest Report. To assist Infinite Outdoors in maintaining the quality of properties - and continue to put conservation at the forefront - we require that the harvest report be completely filled out and returned. Failure to fill out the harvest report within 2 weeks of the hunt taking place will result in a $25 fine. If you are unsuccessful in filling your tag, Infinite Outdoors still needs to have that information provided to them. This is how we will make changes to future year's harvest quotas and continue to be the most well managed access and conservation platform in the country.
