Thanks, Judge Lackey

Circuit Court Judge Henry L. Lackey was thanked for his service to the court and community with a resolution from the Marshall County Board of Supervisors. Lackey will have served nearly 18 years as circuit court judge when his term expires at the end of 2010. He is planning to enjoy retirement and maybe take some more hunting trips with sheriff Kenny Dickerson. “It has been a great ride, I tell y’all,” he said. “I’m going to miss y’all and squirrel hunting with the sheriff. Y’all just keep up the good work.”

Safety is key for trail users and hunters

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks and the U.S. Forest Service would like to remind all Mississippians that recreational trail users and hunters should be considerate of one another while sharing the woods this hunting season.

The MDWFP recommends that all non-hunters wear some form of visible hunter orange clothing while using Wildlife Management Areas and U.S. Forest Service lands during deer gun seasons.

In addition to wearing hunter orange, recreational users are encouraged to stay on designated public use trails. Likewise, hunters should follow gun safety guidelines at all times and be considerate of trail users. Remember that all firearms must be unloaded and cased while driving on a Wildlife Management Area.

For more information, go to www.mdwfp.com on the web or call 601-432-2199.
