ask DS... gun season law

[camlock]

so in MS now (Hill Zone, Adams County), if I'm legal hunting on private land I can shoot any gun during "primitive weapons season"...is that correct?

Asking b/c my buddy trying to figure out if he brings his kid hunting tomorrow, can kid bring his rifle or will they need hunt with his "primitive weapon"?

Kids can hunt with any gun until the end of January.

On private land, you must have a Sportsman's license (or maybe a primitive weapon, but most people that get that just get the sportsman since they're going to hunt with a gun) to use any weapon. If you only have the regular all-game gun license you can't use whatever you want. That's my understanding of it.

[Wingman]

During any open season on deer with primitive weapons after November 30, a person may use any legal weapon of choice on private lands ONLY, if the person is:
a. The title owner of the land;
b. The lessee of the hunting rights on the land;
c. A member of a hunting club leasing the hunting rights on the land; or
d. A guest of a person specified in subparagraph (a), (b) or (c).
e. If the person is required to have a hunting license, the person must have a primitive weapon license, Sportsman's License or a Lifetime Sportsman's License.

So, am I reading this correct - if a person qualifies for a, b, c, or d they still must follow e?

Or, if I go to our family land, which is in my father's name - can I hunt with whatever since I am his guest?
