I only have 2 stories that I have heard. My father in law and I used to lease some land off the Mccaa Bottom road near Aliceville. My father in law heads to his climbing stand one afternoon and as soon as he gets there he sees a deer in the edge of a hayfield on the edge of our land. Boom. Deer just stands there. Boom again. Then my father in law hears the game warden (Richard Knox) tell him to stop shooting the decoy. My FIL was did not get a ticket because deer was on our leased land and was far enough from the road to be legal.

Other time was a story that I heard at a NWTF dinner from another warden (cannot remember the name, but he was an older guy and this was probably 20 years ago). They were setup watching a decoy and all the sudden he hears "who are you and what are you doing on my land"? Turns out where they had setup was some land owned by a guy whose kid was visiting for the holidays. Kid was a Marine Scout Sniper and had snuck up on the warden.


I love my country, but don't trust my government.
