Close call with the wardens

Bob Peters said:
We got stopped at the game warden convention checkpoint. There were a pile of them, probably 20+ officers, feds too(maybe for waterfowl infractions). Everything checked out but one bag of frozen birds, the friendly lady couldn't find a spur on the leg. She offered it back to me and said, "can you find a spur?" Honestly I couldn't, but said we'd shot all roosters. I was a little nervous but not too bad because I knew we hadn't shot any hens and had pics to prove it. Then she said she'd take the ziploc over to "the boss" and be right back. They said they saw a little nub and we were good to go. So my word of caution here is this, if you shoot a real young one, probably best to leave a wing on, makes it easier on game wardens as you pass by on your way to Saskatchewan and the Indian shrine to beg forgiveness for shooting a youngster. Yes, this is a true story. The part about traveling to Saskatchewan I know nothing about other than internet hearsay.

P.S. if you have a case of mistaken identity, the bird goes to Davy Jones' locker, so I've been told....

I was driving today and they had a checkpoint set up outside a small town going in the opposite direction. I haven't seen that in several years.

Saskatchewan has spectacular hunting, and also has good pheasant hunting and grouse. The people are extremely cool there.

Pheasants are saved for Sask residents only. Exchangs $1US for $1.40 CN. Great people, just had to find to ask permission, will never turn down a Blue.
 
Another thing that's great about Saskatchewan is the farmers let you drive in the wheat fields, and they are huge, so you can drop off your decoys.
