t only the fish and animals native to this area, but the tools used to
harvest them. Displays and stories abound from hunters, fishers and outdoor lovers who are helping preserve the history of our natural resources by sharing their prized possessions. A part of Mississippi Wildlife Heritage Museum, the Mississippi Outdoor Hall of Fame seeks to honor Mississippians who have dedicated their lives to the Great Outdoors. It features seventeen members,
including former slave and bear hunter Holt Collier and Mississippi outdoor video and television personalities Will Primos, Toxey Haas, and Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland.
