Jerry Jinright of the Pike County area is probably one of the longest tenured game warden in the state. I think he has close to 45 years in and is still working. I remember one day about 1970, 30 or so of us were in a big peanut field shooting doves, I didn't have a license. I looked across the field and 3 or 4 game wardens were fanned out checking people. I had a dove float by and I barely winged it, as I got close to the bird he would pick up and fly towards the fence line. When he got to the fence I just went thru the fence and into the woods on the other side. Every time I saw Jerry for years I thought he was going to give me a ticket, but I had my license from then on.
