The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks has issued a safety warning following a recent ice storm that caused widespread tree damage across the state.
Many trees are still down, and limbs may continue to fall, creating hazardous conditions in wooded areas. The agency advises outdoor enthusiasts to stay alert and aware of their surroundings.
Officials emphasize the importance of safety during spring hunting seasons, whether hunting turkey, small game, or other species. They recommend extra caution on wildlife management areas, national forest land, or private property to prevent accidents.
Hunters are encouraged to prioritize safety and remain vigilant as they enjoy the outdoors amid ongoing storm recovery efforts.
