Jackson - With turkeys gobbling and fish biting, now is a great time to be outdoors in Mississippi. If you plan to go hunting or fishing this spring make sure you have a valid license, such as the 2012-13 Sportsman License.

This new license features a pair of strutting gobblers; the photograph was taken by award-winning photographer Joe Mac Hudspeth, Jr. of Brandon. Prints of the license can be purchased from Hudspeth by calling (601) 992-0752 or by visiting his website, www.southernfocus.com.
