DELMER & CECIL DELMER AND CECIL
Playing games with the GAME WARDEN Ah! Summer’s just around the corner. It’s
time to cast a line and look forward to hunting season. Cecil here. One of the lads I know went
trout fishing recently, and because he’s always been two tomatoes short of a thick sauce, he decided not to use a rod and reel like the rest of us. Instead he used the hard-to-find “Pineapple Lure”. He somehow got a hold of a couple and figured all he had to do was row out into the
lake, pull the pin on the pineapple lure and drop it over the side. So he did. The pineapple lure went off and blew the
bottom out of the boat. He had to dogpaddle back to shore, where the game warden was waiting. He’d watched the whole thing. Unknown to him, apparently trout don’t float. They just sink to the bottom. He lost his truck and paid a dandy fine. Just another great fishing trip!
In many areas the game warden is looked
on as the enemy and country lads are always trying to come up with schemes to get around him. Darryl MacGibbon, Ross Pilon, Bruce Murray and Barry Saunders came up with a beaut of a plan for hunting season. All four chipped in and bought one hunting
license. They went out on crown land and shot a nice buck and a big doe and hung them up ready for skinning, when who walked out of the bush but the new game warden. Immediately Darryl started running down
the road as fast as he could. The game warden yelled STOP! and took off after him. Well, Darryl was on the track team at
school and was still in pretty good shape. He ran for about a mile, and when the game warden caught up, Darryl was sitting on a stump and smoking a cigar. The game warden said, okay, I caught ya,
where’s your license, at which point Darryl handed it over. When the two returned to spot where it all
started, the guys were gone and so were the deer. Darryl explained that he just came upon them and was admiring their deer and he didn’t know them at all. He said he started running ′cause the warden looked like his girlfriend’s brother and he owed him money. Cased closed. My favourite game warden story was told by Larry Johnston, who shot a nice 10-point
