Wildlife Extravaganza

The Mississippi Wildlife Federation is hosting the 35th Annual Mississippi Wildlife Extravaganza, Mississippi’s oldest and most recognized Outdoor Show July 29th – 31st, 2022 at the Clyde Muse Center in Pearl. Presented by Shivers Buildings, this year’s event will host even more exhibitors, attendees, children’s activities, and entertainment.

“We cannot wait to share with Mississippians the biggest and best Wildlife Extravaganza yet. We received such a warm welcome from Rankin County last year that we are moving to a larger venue – the Clyde Muse Center in Pearl. We are truly enjoying working with Hinds County Community College and the mayor of Pearl and his staff, and we’re confident that we have the best vendors, entertainers, demonstrations and exhibits in the hunting and fishing industry to help Mississippians kick off this year’s hunting season.”

The Extravaganza will play host to many historic crowd-favorite exhibitions, demonstrations, and contests such as the ever-popular Magnolia Records and Big Buck contest, Jason Reynolds’ famous High-flying Retrievers, Kid’s Handgrabbin’ Catfish tanks, youth BB Gun and Archery Ranges, kayaking fishing demonstrations, taxidermy and game cooking demonstrations, outdoor hunting and fishing seminars, and much more. MWF is bringing back some of the biggest names in the hunting, fishing and outdoors entertainment world, like Yawt Yawt, Son of The South Josh Carney, Bubba Buck, stars from the History Channel’s “Swamp People”, Redneck Adventures TV, Southern Boyz Outdoors, Real South Hunting, and Small Town Hunting TV. Several new exhibitors and entertainers will also be in attendance this year, such as World Champion Turkey Caller, Preston Pittman, and the Heart of Texas Snake Handlers from the Rattlesnake Republic TV Show on Animal Planet. That’s right – attendees will get a live look at Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes, as well as Copperheads and Cottonmouths. In addition, the Extravaganza will host a statewide ATV /Side-by-Side show and competition presented by Florence Powersports, where entrants will receive prizes for the Biggest, Baddest and Most Outrageous classes.

However, the buck must have been taken last season to be entered into the Big Buck contest to win cash, gift cards, and other prizes. All entrants into Magnolia Records and the Big Buck contest will receive free entry to the Extravaganza.
