Bill Maily serves as an area agent (Wildlife and Fisheries) with the Mississippi State University Extension Service and is stationed in Hinds County. This is the location of the State Capitol (Jackson, MS). Maily holds a B.S. in Animal Science and a Masters in Agricultural Education, with a minor in Wildlife Management. Both degrees were conferred by Mississippi State University.

Maily has been involved in outdoor activities all of his life, and spends MOST of his spare time fishing and hunting. He has been actively involved in Hunter Education as well as other Youth Programs for years,and lists his greatest thrill, while fishing and hunting, as taking a young person on a trip. "It gives me the chance to teach them about nature and all the natural resources we enjoy."

Maily has been married for 29 years to his wife, Karen, and was blessed with two daughters, Layne and April, both of whom hunt and fish and enjoy the outdoors. Both daughters are married and the two sons-in-law enjoy the outdoors and the natural resources we have available to each of us. Maily has one grandson (Justin) and looks anxiously forward to teaching him about the outdoors and all the resources that are there for us to enjoy and utilize.
