For Wednesday, November 11, 2026, deer hunters around Meridian and East Mississippi should have two good opportunities. I'd give the morning hunt a slight advantage, with the afternoon also worth hunting.
Best overall window: 5:45–8:30 AM

My hunting recommendation
Be settled in your stand by 5:40 a.m.
Focus on oak flats, hardwood bottoms and trails connecting bedding areas to food.
With a west-southwest wind, choose a stand where that wind carries your scent away from expected deer travel.
If hunting the afternoon, get settled by 2:30 p.m.
Overall outlook: FAIR. The cooler morning temperatures give the early hunt an edge, but I would not skip the afternoon. These are practical hunting windows, not guaranteed deer-movement predictions. Wind, food availability, hunting pressure and local rut activity can make a big difference.
