Description
Howard Miller WMA is a 2,400 acre tract located in Issaquena
County approximately 13 miles from Rolling Fork. It is a former
rice and soybean farm that was acquired by the Mississippi
Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) in 2007. There
are 48 fields separated by levees and ditches. These fields are
grouped into 24 hunt units approximately 80 acres in size each.
There are 420 acres of permanent wildlife sanctuary.
Howard Miller WMA is managed as a quality waterfowl hunting area. Approximately 480 acres are managed for moist-soil vegetation with beneficial native plants. Plant species that are selected for include smartweed, sprangletop, wild millets, and various sedges. All of these native species produce large numbers of seeds that are relished by waterfowl in winter. The remaining area is planted in soybeans, corn, and rice.
Waterfowl hunting is by draw hunt only with a combination of pre-season draws and stand-by opportunities. Hunts are conducted on Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Random drawings are conducted at 5:00 the morning of each hunt day. Pre-season draws guarantee a hunter he will hunt on the day of his draw, but he must still draw for a hunt unit the morning of his reservation.
