I wrote the chit out of tickets when working. I might of let that one slide.

When I was in Greene Co my partner, Harvey Foster, and I rode up by a shack of a house biy first seeing light. An 80 or so year old black man and his 10 year old grandson?? were just starting to skin a yearling doe. They had a big old pot on a fire next to them. They had that deer-in-the-headlights look when they recognized the warden truck.

The old man shot the doe(out of season) just before daylight with a flashlight(nighthunting) in his garden with a .22rf(illegal weapon). They lived in a POS shack you could throw a cat thru the walls.

I got out and talked to the old man for a minute er so. I told him to carry the deer out back so I couldn't see it and got back in the truck. Harvey agreed. We left. I could of wrote him a sack of high paying tickets, but there are more important things in life than writing those tickets.....

and nobody in Greene Co thought of me as easy on violators....quite the opposite.

I never had a second thought about what we did and would do it again tomorrow...
