I met our county's CO last night. A friend that is a county deputy got him in touch with me about my trespasser problem. We met at my farm and I showed him around and we sat and talked for about 2 hours. When we first met I showed him my LtCH and he said no problem. Very nice guy and explained a lot of rules and laws to me. He is more than willing to help. He just got our county for his territory and this was one of his first times in the area. I was just curious if anyone else has met their co and what they thought if them?

less than a year ago they restructured a lot of cos to diffrent areas. ive met our new co and spent a hours or so riding around with him showing him his new area and where the poaching hot spots are.
he is a extreamly nice guy and most of them that ive met are hunters who love doing what they do

Yep he was pretty cool. Offering me advice and what to do and who to call. i've got his cell number. I was gonna ask about riding around with him but maybe another time. He was talking about poachers and catching them. But he did graduate from IU but I won't hold that against him.
I met mine or should i say he met me !!!
I was running gravel in my pit , he was up on the road next to the scale trailor admiring two 8 point heads sitting on the back of an old Fiat Alis Loader ......
he finally drove down in the pit & approached me in my loader & asked if i was SO & SO .....
i said yes can i help you
He said i wanna talk to you about your wife ?
I said , what the hell you wanna talk about my wife for ? Is she OK has she been in an accident ?
He said " why dont you tell me"
I said LOOK DUDE im workin , if you have a question , ask it , if not head your happy ass back out to the road .
long story short ....... he finally askd if i shot both bucks & had my wife tag one.
I couldnt belive what he was asking really , this was like 3 months after last deer season.
I told him absolutly NOT.
he said he thought it was kinda odd it was my wifes first yr hunting & she killed an 8 pointer. I told him i thought it was odd too !!
He left telling me that of the 20 cases he had that week that i was the only one he belived.
I was not at all impressed with his tactics, my wife even called him & chewed on him for a while , I think she may have told him he ruint her hunting experience & that she would challenge him in a shooting contest
All in all it was a pretty ****ty thing for him to do...... he had no reason to believe i shot 2 bucks other than the fact it was my wifes first deer.
That was basically my experience with our CO !!

besides what alot of people say about CO's ive never had a problem with any of them. heres what happen 2 weeks ago in North Dakota. we couldnt make out 1 rule in the rule book so we called the # in the back of the book and it put us in touch with the local CO. he answered all our questions, and gave us more info that wasnt in the book. this was at 9:30 in the evening, he even thanked us for call and mentioned that most hunters dont bother with a phone call

I never knew them to have tact.
No thanks to meeting any of them. I even avoid the DNR Bldg. at the fair, and at their booths at any shows. They're just typical public servants, looking for better and craftier ways to increase "tax" collections.

I've met most of the COs that work District 3. I have yet to meet the new officer that is working my county, but know the others by name. Working ICOO Youth Camp I also know a few COs from other Districts as well.
Known one of ours for twenty years, he's retiring this year, don't know who the new one will be, no doubt will know soon, the other one for several years now, both on my cell phone. Know several through the Karl Kelly camp and the DNR. Several years back I was instrumental in getting our county a deer decoy for stings.
