Where Are The Wardens?

[ness]

I must say I have been checked 5 times in the past 10 years. More than I can say for most. The last time the warden said and I quote, "you just looked like someone that didn't have a license". What??? I took a little offense to that and let him know about it too! He's a young agent down in Macdonald County so I guess I could give him some slack, but that comment still burns me up. I was profiled!

LOL! That stings.

Let me make sure I am on track with this.

We don't get checked so we are pissed.

We do get checked so we are pissed.

Am I following along correctly???

Let me make sure I am on track with this.

We don't get checked so we are pissed. I want more wardens to protect the resource and enforce laws.

We do get checked so we are pissed. Only when its by idiots that shouldnt be in any kind of enforcement of laws. Seriously didnt know what a lifetime license was?

Am I following along correctly??? Have a few more beers it will help.

That help any lol

I've been checked probably half those times with an agent in uniform and the other half he was dressed just like someone on the creek that day. They can be sly!

[Jack Jones]

I've never been checked. I'm not saying I would welcome it since I have a natural aversion to authority figures, but the amount of times I've been out and about, coupled with how shady I can and sometimes do look, tells me there's not enough folks out there checking.

Anyone that looks like a pirate should be checked.

That help any lol

I will work hard on your last suggestion and let you know how it turns out!

I ran into the GM at GWP a few weeks ago, ask me how fishing went, he was in his truck & I was on the ramp. Said the was the local warden for the area and seemed like a nice young man. I saw him check several registrations on jet skies while I was talking to him. He gave me his card and said to call him if I saw something that didn't look right.

That was the only time I have ever been checked. Had the park ranger in Kirkwood tell me on time when I was fishing at night that the park was closed. I explained to him there were no signs saying such, after about a 10 minute conversation he said I could continue fishing if I want. The only thing that night that was biting was the misqueoties so I was ready to go anyway.

A pirate walks into a bar, he has a hook in place of his right hand, a wooden leg, and a patch over one eye. Sits down at the bar and orders a drink. Guy sitting next to him asks him how he got the wooden leg?

Pirate replies: "Got in a batle on the Spanish Main with a treasure galleon, canon ball took my leg off".

Guy asks him why he had a hook on his hand?

Pirate replies: "Boarded an English sloop, got my hand sliced off in sword fight."

Guy ask him why he has an eye patch?

Pirate replies: "Arrr, I was looking up at the mast and it so happened a seagull flew by over head and pooped in my eye!"

Guy says: "Wow that must have been some really nasty poop to take your eye out!"

Pirate replies: "Arrr, not that, it was my first day with the hook".
