OR wardens at work

[Orygun]

From the State Police Field Review http://www.oregon.gov/OSP/FW/docs/Newsletter/August2010.pdf

Sgt. Hand (Klamath Falls) and Lt. Gifford (SW Region) patrolled the
Warner Unit for the second pronghorn season. The hunting pressure was light and distributed; however, those hunters checked were finding good success. One party contacted by Gifford had a 15-year-old young man who had never killed a big game animal, but he was lucky enough to draw a tag. Gifford provided information about a nice buck seen in the area, and the
young man harvested it the next morning. That buck was 14 1/2 inches, had nice ivory tips, and good mass. The hunter was very excited and thankful for the tip.

Glad to hear some good stories about the Wardens. We don't enough of that here. Thanks

Great story! I generally had very negative experiences with Wardens in California. We were checked on our Wyoming Antelope hunt and the warden was fantastic. It was a real eye opener to the point I even sent a letter thanking the department.

I used to duck hunt and steelhead fish with him when I lived in Reedsport years ago. Great guy who is an advocate for hunters/fisherman and a super guy to be around. Good on ya Dave.:thumbs up2:
