“I’m sorry, officer! I have no idea how those got in my locked cooler! They can’t possibly be mine!”
The Conservation Officers will be keeping an eye out for the 211 who voted that stopping poaching was a make work job for the officers. What ever happened to putting people in stocks or caning? Hanging is a little severe for a first offense but a few days in the stocks down by the local fly shop with plenty of rotten fruit available.
What salmon? Oh yeah, those salmon. Found em!
