Stopped by fish and wildlife today.
So I stopped deer hunting for a bit today to go shoot some coyotes. As I'm pulling into the area I hunt I notice a white truck coming up the road quite quickly. No problem I had just poured a coffee and was getting out of the truck to meet him. Said our hello's, offered some coffee, idle chit chat. He asked if I had any luck. I only saw 8 mule deer bucks, and had a doe tag, so no, no luck lol.
He asked to see my paperwork. I gave to him. Asked if my rifle was in the truck I said it was and he asked if I minded if he checked. No problem officer it's sitting against the seat, bolt open mag empty. Two seconds he was done, asked if I had any other rifles, said I had a .223 behind the seat for coyotes, it was cased. he was happy with that. Said everything was in order, have a nice day, good luck and good hunting.
First time in six years I had been stopped and I told him so, he said just must not be hunting the right times. Hmmmm, figured Wed to sat zone would be quite busy on a sat, my bad. Anyway it was a ten minute experience and quite a pleasant one. This was in Drum by the way. Too bad I didn't have a buck tag though the buggers were everywhere, running, laying, standing. Anywhere from 40 yards to 177 the farthest. Saw 3 moose, a beaver, 2 coyotes, and an owl. No damn doe though. LOL
