Editorial: A Message to Hunters - WDAM-TV 7-News, Weather, Sports-Hattiesburg, MS
Member Center:
With Saturday, Nov. 22, being the opening day of gun season, I have a message for all you deer hunters.
First of all, have fun and enjoy your hunt; I know opening day is special to all of you. Secondly, and more importantly, be safe by practicing all the hunter safety tips and messages that you have heard countless times through the years.
I urge you to listen carefully to me. I can't overstate the importance of hunter safety, especially on opening day. You know to wear the appropriate amount of hunter orange, so do it.
You know how to properly load and unload your firearm, so do it. You know the difference between a deer and a shaking bush, or even a human being. Do not fire your weapon unless you are absolutely sure all is well. Too many needless deaths have left behind too many suffereing family members over the years.
Again, enjoy your hunt, but please be careful...be very careful.
Though soft-spoken, Steven Anderson hits hard. A "violent" runner as Southern Miss teammate Keon Howard describes him, perhaps Anderson is making up for all those years spent at quarterback. "Steven runs like he doesn't want to be hit no more,” Howard said.

The junior was named Conference USA pitcher of the week and a Collegiate Baseball player of the week for the third time this season. Sandlin pitched 12 strikeouts and allowed just one hit in five innings of USM’s 8-0 win over Middle Tennessee on Saturday. Junior Adam Jackson is expected to take the mound on Tuesday night when the Golden Eagles host South Alabama.
