Poaching At Wabamun

[milelongleblanc]

I had a guy come into the store today, and I happened to mention that Wab is a no-kill lake. He informed me that almost every time he's there, he see's a bunch of East-coaster's gutting fish right on shore. If anyone lives close by and wouldn't mind swinging by every now and then, maybe we can get them busted. We all complain that there's not enough enforcement, but how many of you have the Report-a-Poacher number in your cell phone? We can't stop everyone, but we can make a difference.

 

Just remember, safety first. There's a reason C.O.'s are armed.

Very true - and as we all know - not everyone seems to pay attention to the regs and I'm more than happy to assist the F&W boys in that role.

And since Rick didn't mention the number... PUT IT IN YOUR CELL PHONE PEOPLE!
