Swamp Donkey Properties sits 15 miles south of Vicksburg on the Mississippi River, operating one of the Southeast's most productive hunting grounds. The property spans almost 10,000 acres bordered by three miles of the Mississippi River and five miles of the Big Black River—a setup that holds roughly 2,000 deer annually with abundant food sources and minimal hunting pressure.
Since 2015, a professional biologist has managed the property to develop a balanced age structure. The result: bucks scoring 160+ and 170+ have been taken regularly, with hunters seeing 10-15 deer per hunt on average.

The setup works for everyone from families wanting comfortable box stand hunts to serious bow hunters pursuing lock-on situations in oak flats.
