I'll tell you all about it tomorrow. I gotta put the kids to bed. Dig those Super Trooper glasses!

No, Dave- they're friendly up there- I think they allow all the pictures you want before you go to jail... =)

I'd be smiling too if I busted someone... bet he's smiling at the huge boar in the back of your truck (properly tagged of course!)

my guess is an educational sumthin or other given by the officer to youngins on proper game id and game management, then a posed picture how close am I?
Butt the big bruin being properly tagged and reported sounds pretty logical too
 
I'm guessing he found you kinda cute in your camo getup. I see he has you in the "ready" position and he's working on his belt.

Couldn't resist.

No you all got it wrong.. He is showing the guy with the glasses his new calf stretch for lower back pain relief. As any one knows carrying a big ticket book with a glock 40 and a stick on the other side results in debilitating back pain and Mike just wanted to help the guy out with tricks he learned on the WWW at yoga.com for aging outdoor types. I sure hope Mike kept quiet about the instant relief shot of hooch for bear haulers' back-ache though.
 
I'll let you guys off the hook, but I must say I was surprised a the creativity of your minds. : )

I passed this guy on the way back to town. My speedometer has been broken for about four years so I might have been speeding but I didn't think so. He hit the cherries and pulled me over because he knew it was me. It turned out it was my friend Kenny Frankish - I've known Ken for about 10 years and we've fished and hunted sheep together years ago. So we're standing there yakking and I was teasing him about his dorky looking sunglasses when we saw the prison bus the outdoor ed kids were in coming down the road. Just for fun I pretended Ken was arresting me. The teacher driving the bus didn't know it was a setup nor did the kids, but Mac was on the bus and he saw it was Ken. Anyways they slowed down but didn't stop and we all met up at the cinnamon bun place down the road and let them in on it.

I thought it was funny.

Ok, maybe this is a chicken or the egg question, but do they actually teach law enforcement folks to put their thumbs in their belts a la Barney Fife or Jackie Gleason in Smokey & the Bandit, or is that just a natural inclination for peace officer's candidates?
 
Mike:
I had a neighbor who was a Wis state Patrol officer stopped me just short of my house. Said my directionals weren't on--checking they were so he walked around the jeep and found my front license plates were gone. I must have lost them plowing my drive out. That SOB gave me a ticket. Shortly after that he was stabbed during an arrest and I ended up having him as a patient. What kind of treatment do you think he got???

That's funny Mike!

Reminds me of the time I had an LAPD Sheriff and his dad with me on a dove hunt near Taft, California.

I had known the local game warden (Bob Fisher) since I was a kid. We were driving down main street in Taft when he saw my truck and pulled up behind us and turned on his red lights. I said "oh crap" and my Sheriff friend looked around and said, hell, that's a game warden pulling us over".

I said, "the hell with him" and kept driving. Next came the siren and by now my Sheriff friend and his dad are yelling at me to pull over.........I kept going!

Next, Bob Fisher pulls up next to me and yells, "pull over or I'll shoot out your tires!" By now my Sheriff friend is really getting nervous, so I pull over in front of a restaurant. The game warden walks up to my window and asks to see my hunting license.

Now my Sheriff friend and his dad are really baffled by all of this. I look at Bob Fisher and tell him to go to hell, I ain't hunting, I'm driving! The game warden sticks his head in the window and puts his hand on my shoulder and says. "well Dave, if you won't show me your hunting license, can I buy you a cup of coffee? I said, "sure Bob" and we both started laughing.

My Sheriff friend and his dad both started cussing me and the Warden out, saying we were the most rotten SOB's in the world for pulling that trick on them...........TOO FUNNY!

I can just imagine what all those kids were thinking in that bus when Mac tried to tell them it was no biggie, that was his dads old buddy. Great joke Mike!
