an exception in the above statement, in my experience, would be Shelby Co Sheriffs office. When I had Jefferson and Shelby by myself for a year they were a great help to me in answering calls.


Troy, no doubt the worst thing about using the sheriff to enforce the game laws too would be the quality variation from county to county.


From what I get following posts on here it varies wildly now with state GWs. If some of the goofy stunts posted are true , there's some real winners out there. I'm glad we've always had good ones in Ol' Hi-Jackson. They can be traced all the way back to Rayford "Fuzz" Hamilton.


Dog, the problem has always been lack of supervision by Montgomery, and by District Supervisors. There has historically been little info and direction passed from Montgomery to the local officers, so much is left to them to figger out. NOT a good way to enforce state wide laws/regs.

There are a LOT of dedicated, hard working, FAIR officers out there. There are also some idiots that need to do something else for a living.

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
