The poor man never heard of bowfishing or what lic. was needed.
That's a good opportunity to introduce him to bowfishing, like you did.
If you were able to have a conversation with him about it, and he even ended up wanting to try it, you definitely did something right.
That's the kind of exchange that can build good relationships between bowfishermen and the DNR. The Illinois Bowfishers Officers have spent quite a bit of time talking with DNR biologists, site managers, and CPOs. It's paid off nicely so far, and it's a win/win situation when everbody knows they are on the same side.
Nice job Chuck.
Were you able to make it to Desperado's Ohio Club meeting?
