Governor Tate Reeves has proclaimed September 26, 2026, as National Hunting and Fishing Day in Mississippi, recognizing the important role hunting and fishing play in our state’s heritage, economy and outdoor way of life.

Here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, fishing is more than a pastime—it’s part of our culture. From generations of families spending time on the water to the commercial and recreational fishermen who make a living from our coastal resources, fishing connects Mississippians to the Gulf and to one another.

At the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, fishing and conservation are at the heart of what we do every day. From managing and protecting marine resources to supporting healthy fish populations, restoring habitat and providing opportunities for future generations to enjoy the outdoors, conservation is essential to keeping Mississippi’s waters and fisheries thriving.

National Hunting and Fishing Day is a great opportunity to celebrate the people who enjoy our great outdoors—and to recognize our shared responsibility to protect these resources for generations to come.

MDWFP is excited to once again celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day!⁠
⁠
September marks the start of hunting seasons for many in the Magnolia State, with opportunities ranging from dove hunting, velvet season for deer, and cooler weather for fishing. These traditions not only connect Mississippians with the outdoors but also contribute significantly to conservation and the state’s local and statewide economy.
⁠
This year, Governor Reeves has proclaimed September 26th, 2026, as National Hunting and Fishing Day in Mississippi. Hunters and anglers across our state contribute millions each year through the American System of Conservation Funding - boosting our economy and protecting our natural resources.⁠
⁠
Share your passion by introducing someone new to hunting or fishing this year and make memories together in Mississippi’s great outdoors.
