Mississippi's spring turkey hunting season runs March 15 to May 1.
A massive sports and outdoor exhibition, now produced by the National Rifle Association, opened in Harrisburg, one year after a vendor boycott over a restriction on certain gun sales and displays prompted its predecessor to cancel.
Each permit lets a hunter kill one male or bearded female turkey with bow and arrow in the archery season or with a shotgun in the shotgun season.
There's still room in indoor archery leagues being offered by New Hampshire's Fish and Game Department for experienced archers.
