SUMMARY: For Ellville residents in Mississippi, colder temperatures mean that hunters are getting ready and heading to the woods. The state is offering courses to ensure that hunters stay safe while making the most of the hunting season. Jeremy Jenson, a resident, emphasizes the importance of tree stand and firearm safety. He also mentions the relevance of wildlife management, habitat, and being a responsible hunter. Brennon Chancellor, an instructor, emphasizes the importance of using a safety harness when climbing up and down tree stands, as well as unloading firearms and letting family members know of hunting plans.
