Stacy Skinner reports that on Monday, Sept. 4, Louis and Donna Skinner hosted some of their family at the farm for a Labor Day cook-out.
Enjoying an evening of good food and fellowship were Matt, Julie, Anna Brooke and Kaitlyn Skinner with Nick and Stacy Turner.
Later in the week, on Thursday, Sept. 7, Louis took advantage of the cooler fall temperatures for a bobcat hunt with hounds in Flatwoods near Shuqualak with Harold Parker and Tommy Coleman.
Harold, hailing from Sumrall, has a pack of running walker foxhounds that are straight on bobcat and he and Louis have shared numerous thrilling cat chases for 25 years. This outing did not disappoint the three men.
