CRAWORD, Miss. -- No deer camp is perfect, and every deer camp can be improved upon in some way.

Jack Robertson is a professional forester and wildlife ecologist who lives in Lowndes County, Miss. He grew up in Columbiana, Ala., and hunted and fished all over the state throughout this youth and into college. He moved west to study at Mississippi State University and in 2004 along with his father bought the land that he derives his income from today, Burnt Oak Lodge (www.burntoaklodge.com) in Lowndes County, near Crawford, Miss.

Burnt Oak’s acres are teeming with quail, deer and turkey, thanks...
