For Tuesday, November 10, 2026, deer hunters around Meridian and East Mississippi should have a decent opportunity, especially during the early morning hours. The morning hunt gets my slight edge.

Scotty Ray hunting recommendation
Be in the stand by 5:40 a.m.
Hunt hardwoods, acorn-producing areas and trails leading from bedding to food.
Watch the wind closely, especially as temperatures rise.
If you can only hunt the afternoon, get settled by 2:30 p.m. and stay until the end of legal shooting light.
Overall deer movement outlook: FAIR. I'd give the morning hunt the advantage, but I wouldn't pass up the afternoon. These are estimated movement windows, not guaranteed feeding times; local food sources, hunting pressure, wind and breeding activity can make a big difference.
