Hunting Bear and Panther in the Old South with James T. McCafferty | MS Outdoors Podcast

In this episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, host Matt Wyatt sits down with Jim McCafferty, attorney, author, and longtime outdoorsman, to explore the forgotten hunting traditions of Mississippi’s Delta and hill country. Jim shares the research behind his books on legendary bear hunters, 19th-century field trials, and tales of panthers that once roamed the South. The conversation moves between historic bear camps and quail fields to personal memories of growing up in Mississippi. It’s a reflective and richly detailed look at the characters and culture that shaped hunting in the Deep South.

Mississippi Outdoors is produced by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.
