There was a game warden in Jefferson County, back in the 60's - 70's.

He was friends with everybody and got along with everybody.

He even played softball with one of my Uncle's.

One time he even went so far as to drag a couple of deer out of the Game Lands for my dad and Uncle and even let my grandfather ride in the truck with him - because he was old and the warden felt bad that his kids dragged him so far back into the woods.

Well it seem's that the PGC sent him a new deputy - fresh from the Ross Leffler Game School.

They were out on a patrol and they came to a camp that had a illegal shot doe. The new deputy asked if he was going to do a investigation and write some tickets. The game warden said no, because he knew those people and they were friends of his.

Well the new hire deputy kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything more.

10 years later, with the help of a couple of promotions, the new hire deputy became the boss of the old Game Warden.

The first thing that he did, when he accepted his new position was to send his mentor as far away as possible from Jefferson County.

I think it was the whole way to Wyoming County PA.

For all I know - unless he retired, he is still there!
