America needs needs a new hero, you are it!

You shot the decoy! :yeah::yeah::yeah:

Warning tickets are just so they can cover their butts. I'd have told them to kiss mine and then demanded to be arrested. Of course I do spend more $$$ on attorney's fees than most and I have my defense attorney on speed dial.

Call Jeff Foxworthy..... "you know you might be a redneck if you ever got a warning ticket for shooting the decoy"

New Classic.

I can see that, your're excited, creeping up on a bear over a hill or two, the bear head down, :stir:I would have taken a shot also. Wish there was a picture!!!!

I swear I'd a pitched a fit and wallered on the ground till somebody let me take a picture with that bear decoy and the game warden! This is something the rest of us can only dream about. Heck, be glad for the warnings as mementos of the occasion. Should've made him right the details on them warnings of exactly what you did to get the jump on him. Everybodies right, best story on here!

Thats awsome,
Only story that comes close is when someone slipped around and strapped an orange vest to the deer decoy.

I can feel for you man. Now that's funny...probably because we've all done something almost as bad. I stalked a flock of goose decoys once, was supposed to flush them for the two boys that just crawled through the mud where they should fly when I flushed them...after 100 yards through fresh plowed wet mud, uphill, I stood up to see what I had been stalking up on...duh. And one year we invited the GWs to our club cuz we had a number of folks shooting from the road. I slipped in from the woods side, last day of the season, last light, and two monster bucks stalk still 100 yards away from me - 50 yards or so from the woodline (then the road). Three does jumped up in front of me...ran to these two monsters which never flicked a tail, never flicked an ear - so as I put a scope on them I remebered inviting the GWs to put up the decoys. Just as I bring my gun down saying dang, those things look so real...the both ran into the woods!
Your story is much funnier - a picture would have been great.

That's an awesome story. They never expected someone to sneak up on it from the woods side. LOL. I would have to have my picture made with the thing. Tell em to write you a ticket for the picture too. LOL>
