My vote is for B'ham Fred (Troy) since he is the only one I've met.  Actually, I got checked last year by a GW in Shelby Co., don't know his name, but he was very polite, friendly and had a good sense of humor. He walked in on me and my son and asked if we had permission to hunt the land we were on. I looked at him and said, "Which one of us parked on the other side of that locked gate and had to walk in?" He laughed and said, "You've got a pretty good point there." I offered to show him my license to which he said it wasn't necessary. We shot the bull for a few minutes then he wished us luck, said don't hesitate to call if we ever need him and was on his way.

Gordon Bennett was definitely a legend around here. I always admired his ability to aggressively do his job but still gain the respect of everyone he dealt with. Heck, even the rogue dog hunters he constantly chased around seemed to respect him.
Grady Jackson in Pike County was another good one.

Four pages and not one mention of Leon McKamey.  I've been waiting on one of you Etowah County boys to chime in... Bunch of dang outlaws Heck, that 31 county tag is known all over the country and I am not joking. I know several guys in other states that recognize it. You boys are known as some killing fools.

I think Grady Myers is a good one in Autauga county,
Joe Northington was pretty tough back in his day.

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 have a funny story about that guy. Back in the late 70's when I was a little feller (6 years old), we went and visited my dads cousin in Montgomery one fall weekend. My mom and me and my sister stayed with the cousins wife and kids all weekend. My dad and his cousin Ken were going to go build some stands and do some work at a little hunting club they were in. My grandpa came along because while they were working he wanted to shoot a few squirrels. At some point during the morning a big ol doe wandered by my grandpa and he shot the dang thing and killed it with his .22. My dad was none to pleased and after a lengthly tracking job they found the deer. They threw that thing in back of Ken's Bronco and hauled tail back to Montgomery. They pulled in the yard and unloaded that thing and was trying to get it gutted and quartered. It was cool to me because at 6 years old seeing a deer was a big deal to me, so I am sure I was all in the way. Well...... one of the neighbors called the Game Warden because they saw them skinning a deer out and it wasn't season. Actually it was bow season but they didn't know that. So about half way through the skinning/quartering job, Mr. Jinright pulls in the driveway and gets out of his truck. He came back in the back yard and started checking licenses. He asked how the deer was killed and my grandpa told him it was shot with a bow. He looked at him with his head cocked to the side and said "That don't look like no arrow hole". He started prodding deeper. My grandpa (who passed in 94) insisted he shot the deer with a field point. After much talking Mr. Jinright left. About 10 minutes later he came back clearly agitated and started talking about "Throwing some asses in jail if I don't get the correct story". He stomped around and yelled some more and then picked the hide up and said he was going to take it to some lab and have it examined for gunpowder residue, unless my grandpa wanted to tell him what happened. They told him to go ahead. He loaded up the hide and left. About 10 minutes went by and he pulled back in the driveway looking crazy and got out of his truck. He stormed into the back yard and threw that deer hide at my granddads feet and said "The best thing you two (talking to my dad and grandpa) sonofabi***es can do is get in that truck and take your arses back to Jefferson Co and don't let me ever catch you in Montgomery Co again! Then he stormed off and that's the last we saw of him. In my six years I had never seen a man get that red faced and mad.

I will have to agree that Jimmy Jones, is one of the best outdoorsmen there is . He could sneak up behind you in the middle of a 40 acre open field. I encountered him a few times when I was younger and he was friendly but professional . Jimmy could run as fast and as long as any Lawman I know. From my recollection he only stopped to catch his breath once in a short hilly marathon he and I ran one time. Another GW that falls into the great outdoorsman mold is Joe Carroll . I think he is still working Henry county. Richard Reed, is also a good guy that did his job with a high degree of professionalism . The South East corner of Alabama has a lot of very good Game and Fish officers. I agree on all three... But ole Rattler JJ took advantage of his all access badge to do a ton of arrowhead hunting... Wasn't a creek in the Wiregrass he ain't been in! Great man!! And everyone knows ole Richard Reed (Chief O Cheapie)was so professional, he would write his own Momma a ticket!!LOL!!

If you are talking about Adkins in Monroe County, he was really good and did his job well. Both guys here in Marengo County are good. They are always happy to answer your questions, and are hard workers. I have never heard anyone say they are dishonest either.

He got probation for a felony assault conviction. I thought it was fair. The guy should have stayed in his car.

Cliff miller was a good one. He walked like 5 miles one day to check my dad and uncle for an "electronic call" during turkey season. He looked all though the trucks then my day pulled out an old be lee mouth call and did a fly down cackle. Cliff just hung his head. Dad gave him a ride out.

Not me, you walk five miles to check me, then your walking five miles back to your truck.
