Post Guess what I got a ticket for....
Shooting over my limit ??? booze ??? no plug in my gun ??? maybe having lead ??? how bout not having a out of state hunting license or wma stamp ??? How bout the boat not being registered ??? maybe no running lights ???

Anyone of those would have been very good guesses..........And that's what I was thinking as I was walking up the ramp and seen Mr. Green Jeans hid behind some parked trucks......I jump in the truck & slide down the ramp.....Get the boat on and tell GGB he'd better ride up front cause it aint safe to ride in the boat. ;)

But damn if Mr. Green Jeans don't stop me at the top of the ramp just so I know he wants to talk to me.

Now I'm thinking F'em....write me a ticket.

But.......I didn't get a ticket for any of that.

I got a ticket for only having one PDF in the boat. I must have taken one out looking for something and left it sitting.

Now to the point......Ticket for no PDF in Tenn......25 dollars.......

Court fee in Tennessee.......get this............wait for it..............185 forkin dollars !!!!!! :o :o :o

Of all the Rogue crap to get a ticket for !!!! $215.00 for a missing PDF !!!! :evil: AND we were Hunting a river 40 feet wide & 4 foot deep. with little current.......WTFH !!!

BTW WalMart & Rural king don't have PDFs..........Great........

Seen and heard of a few getting cited for un-serviceable throw cushions and PFDs, not having enough on board, not having readily accessible to them (in the bow storage or gun box), improper size for passengers (kids on board). All depends on who's having a bad day.

That sucks. I always keep my throwable in my dove seat (wich is always in the boat) my buddy got a warning for not having one accessible. I say thats BS. In La there supposed to give you one to borrow, and a ticket. If you return the borrowed one to the correct LADWF office the ticket is void. At least thats what I heard

I was stopped Friday but luckily we had them on. Law on the river you have to wear a PDF over the winter. He was ready to give tickets out and then tried to give us one for not having them buckled. With ice drifts and below zero wind chill (and layer after layer of gear) I really don't think it would have helped too much if I went over. Only good thing is the water was only 3-4 feet deep. But it is hard to swim in frozen waders! Tough days like that really make the payoff worth it...

I will tell you like I tell everyone. Fight the ticket. Go to court and tell your side. Don't cost anymore and you might be surprised to find the judge will throw it out.
Here on the Ohio River everyone is casting up into the fast water trying to get a big striped bass to bite. There is a sign that says Stay back 150' but when you inch up there to cast how can you tell what 150 from 140 feet is? So my buddy gets a ticket as did a bunch of other rockfish chasers that day. My buddy tells me that he was at or on the line but not over it. And still got a ticket. I tell him to fight the ticket. So he does.
The judge tells the prosecutor to settle this ticket out in the hallway. My buddy tells the prosc his story and she said 'have you ever got a ticket for this before' and he said No and she tears it up and throws it into the trashcan. She said its funny how many people that have paid the same ticket and those that showed up to court and had the ticket dismissed.
The bottom line is the CO that gave my buddy the ticket was wholesale slinging them that weekend because just up river a couple days before at another dam a guy drown slinging lures into the fast water.
Good luck.
Randy

I agree with netman, go to court and contest the ticket. If Mr green jeans don't show up the judge will through it out. I got out of ALOT of speeding tickets that way! They write you the ticket thining you will just pay it. Also, in Wisconsin any ticket writen by the GW is heard in traffic court, so you can always stick around and listen to drunk driving hearings. That out to make you feel beter! :)

Netman, we got a ticket for fishing too close to a dam one time. We were flat wearing some Stripers out. 18lbs+ every cast. Bank maggots ran and got the "man". He didn't have a boat. He comandeered a fiberglass 21' CC and ran it up behind us. We didn't know it was him. I hollered to my bud, "look at this common mofo. I wonder if he wants to just get in and fish with us?" Look and see Mr. Green Jeans. He escorts us to the ramp and checks everything but our anuses. Writes the ticket and off we go.
Now, there's no buoy, nothing in the regs, no sign at the ramp telling us that we had to stay a certain distance from the dam. He says the buoy got washed away. There's a sign on the bank. 8" x 10" sign and the river is 300 yards wide.
He wrote the ticket wrong and wrote is as a Class III felony Manslaughter or some chit and we HAD to appear in court. Judge tossed it and chastised the warden for not knowing his codes and wasting time. My buddy asks the judge if he wants to go fishing with us this afternoon. Got a spot full of stripers waiting on us. :lol: Judge sez......better not boys!

I GOTS ONE FOR YOU R.B.

This past memorial day. Me and two of my buds are taking the boat back to the camp with the two ladies up front. Ladies decide to start kissin, tops come off, bathin suits got made into a g-string. They are lickin each other and we are takin pics while drivin back. Ole game warden see's a flash going off in the boat (he's 300 yrds from us) turns his direction towards me and pulls us over. Now picture this, two girls topless in the 69 position and they have no clue that the G-warden is next to us. So he ask me for my papers and all that crap (girls caint find there tops ) so they are just sitting there topless. He asked me to see the lifejackets and i told him they are in that box, which i had to unlock because if you dont lock it , it will come open while your driving. I GOTS A TICKET FOR "NOT HAVING PFD'S READILY ACCESSIBLE" WTF.... IS THIS GUY A HOMO OR WHAT? That had to have been the best thing he saw all year, and the phag gave me a ticket. total doucher!!!!!!!!! ticket was around 150

Turbo you said taking pictures? Uhh where are they? I got stories galore on catching chicks and dudes going at it while on patrol. Was not able to take pics but you got me thinking about taking video/pics for evidence. I caught these two dudes humping on a gravel road one time.....ahhh I will save that for the next MMT event.

In regards to the above post I took both of them to jail for Public Intox and Public Indecency. The one dude asked me how I could do that when all they were doing was 'listening to country music'. :shock:
