Single statewide season, no zones.No dedicated MDWFP species-program page for woodcock; administered via the seasons/bag-limits table only. HIP required as a nationwide federal requirement for migratory game bird hunters, though not separately restated on the woodcock row itself.
MDWFP has no dedicated woodcock program page and publishes no in-state regional breakdown, consistent with Mississippi sitting entirely in wintering (not breeding) range for the species. The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies' American Woodcock Conservation Plan (2008), built on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Bird Conservation Region (BCR) framework, splits Mississippi between two BCRs with different woodcock roles, which yields a two-region answer even though no MS-specific document exists.
