### 4/5 — Hunter ID Number

*2024-12-27*

If you type your ID Number into the system, it should automatically populate your basic information.   And then just ask for you to correct any info that has changed or is incorrect.

### 2/5 — Great hunting/ needs attention

*2022-10-25*

The hunting on Oakatibee WMA is great. The roads need attention. Recent storms have made the woods difficult to navigate due to blow downs. It would help greatly if the roads were cleared so that walking them would not be difficult. It would also make retrieving game easier. Especially for someone with disabilities or heart conditions such as myself.

### 2/5 — WMA

*2022-03-19, version 1.5.6*

The check in and out process is not user friendly.

### 5/5 — Very organized app

*2021-11-27*

Very easy to use. Much more efficient than using cards for sign in. 10/10

### 4/5 — WMA APP

*2021-11-25*

Very convenient, so long as a decent cell signal is available.

### 5/5 — Review

*2021-11-23, version 1.5.6*

Beautiful woods great staff

### 5/5 — Game Warden

*2021-11-14*

Got check on Chickasaw WMA. Game Warden was very professional in checking my daughter and I. How she understands the importance of Game Warrens and how a great Game Warren will treat you as long as you give them the respect they deserve. Thanks Raymond Owen . Pontotoc MS

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-11-05*

I have used it for the last two years, way better than filling out the cards thanks.

### 5/5 — Parking area by the gate

*2021-09-14*

The culverts are way to narrow. My trailer tire fell off and I busted my tire. I thought I was paying attention but it slipped off. I was told I was not the only person who had missed the turn. Others have fallen in. It needs to be wider. Please widen them. Thanks. Referring to the parking area at the gate

### 5/5 — Best this field has ever been since I started hunting here round 8-10 years ago

*2021-09-04*

Great

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2021-08-16*

This makes me think about all the times there was no pen or I went to a new location and find myself lost looking for the station and be late to the stand or there was no cards this alleviate all that!

### 5/5 — Convenient Communication

*2021-07-29, version 1.5.6*

Very convenient. I can check in lying on my couch since my property borders Old River WMA.  Just a very convenient method of communication with MDWF since I use WMA’s.  I plan on hunting more around the state this year and I’m glad I have this app.

### 5/5 — Profiles

*2021-07-01, version 1.5.5*

I would like to know how to delete a profile on this app.

### 1/5 — Hunting Facts

*2024-03-27*

Hi I think that the price of the turkey tag should go up around $100 and it also should be that you have to purchase the $100 turkey tag in order to apply for any draw to eliminate non hunters from taking tags from the hunters that will come to the state and hunt and create revenue to the state of Mississippi. Thanks

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-11-07*

App does not work when I try to check in at a WMA. Says try again later. 
App worked great last year , whatever changes were made are terrible !

### 1/5 — Road repairs

*2023-10-28*

The state charges a users permit fee for the use of the management areas and you can’t even use it all because the roads and slough beds are in bad shape, even for ATV use, much less a vehicle. Please please fix all the roads and slough crossings while it’s dry and the water is gone. Thank you for your time and I hope that this will not do like all other issues by being ignored. Thanks!!

### 1/5 — Doves

*2023-09-06*

No doves. Didn’t fire a shot

### 1/5 — Twin Oaks has 5 deer on 5000 acres

*2021-12-18, version 1.5.6*

Terrible place to deer hunt

### 1/5 — Sunflower they are not fixing anything the roads are so bad it’s Pitiful

*2021-11-20*

The Calvert are busted and they were busted before hunting Season started and they want to close that part of sunflower 
Dowling bayou level has not been mow yet the roads will be worse when it rains and they are county roadsThe The four wheeler trails they haven’t been repaired and years you can asked any hunter that hunts sunflower and they will tell you the same thanks appreciate all the help we can get

### 1/5 — Unable to complete registration

*2020-09-11, version 1.4*

And it looks like I’m not the only one.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-09-08, version 1.4*

Absolute trash! Tried to make an account and it would not let me. Eventually app stated I already had an account. Then I tried logging into my account and it would not even let me do that. Kept saying “verify input.” I have input it 7 times, so I’d consider that verifying it. 

Not surprising for Mississippi.

### 1/5 — Birthday

*2020-08-01, version 1.4*

App wouldn’t let me change the date for my DOB. I deleted the app and reinstalled and the DOB still defaults to today’s date.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-06-13, version 1.4*

I can’t even setup my account. Can’t say bad signal, I’m at the house connected to WiFi.

Very convenient. I can check in lying on my couch since my property borders Old River WMA. Just a very convenient method of communication with MDWF since I use WMA’s.

Pipeline road in rough shape from corner to scales due to I assume pipeline work. Roads in hunting areas in good shape. Spoke with one of MWFP employees. I had a few questions. He was very knowledgeable and eager to help. Super nice guy. First time hunting there since late 70s. Was quite impressed with facilities. Will be back. Thank you.
