Never Underestimate a Warden -

I have never been checked by a Game Warden while trout fishing.
I was checked by one once while claming. We drove to the ocean
over the sand dunes in a jeep so we wouldn't have to walk so far.
We had our limit and started to leave when a game warden about a
quarter of a mile down the beach started coming our way. When he
saw we were leaving he started hollering and running down the
beach. My cousin didn't like the guy so he said just keep
walking and pretend like we can't hear him. We all arrived at
the jeep at the same time, but the Game Warden was so out of
breath he could hardly talk. He checked our clams, which were
all legal, and said why didn't you stop when I hollered. My
cousin smiled and said we didn't hear you because of the wind and
the waves. We went home and cooked up some great Razor Back
Clams.
