In this episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, host Matt Wyatt visits with Billy Johnson, founder of the Mississippi Wildlife Heritage Museum in Leland, Mississippi.

Billy shares how a personal collection of vintage hunting and fishing photos and memorabilia grew into a 14,000-square-foot museum celebrating Mississippi’s rich outdoor history. The conversation covers:

• Stories of early hunting, fishing, and Native American culture in Mississippi

• Handmade lures, turkey calls, and legendary Mississippi outdoorsmen

• How conservation leaders like Fannie Cook, Billy Joe Cross, and Fox Haas shaped Mississippi’s outdoor legacy

• Why Mississippi remains one of the best states in America for hunting and fishing opportunities

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