Representative Bounds joined the Mississippi Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus in 2005 as a charter member. Representative Bounds served as Chairman of the MS House of Representatives Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks Committee from 2012-2020.

He now serves as the House Chairman of the Public Utilities Committee but remains deeply involved with the Appropriations process of conservation units in the House of Representatives.Representative Bounds was born, raised and continues to make his home in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Located in the heart of Mississippi, the area is home to some of the best hunting and fishing opportunities in the state. To ensure that places like these are protected for future generations, Representative Bounds in 2014 spearheaded and co-sponsored HCR 30, a constitutional amendment that added the Right to Hunt and Fish to Mississippi’s Constitution and was passed by Mississippi voters with an 87% affirmative vote. He contributes successful passage of this amendment to the work of his colleagues in the MS Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus, the largest bi-partisan and bi-cameral caucus in the Mississippi Legislature, sporting over 100 members of the Mississippi Legislature.
