This is direct info from someone to me. So, I don't want to hear anything about pushing for donors.
Sunday a guy stopped in the store. He is a coach for kids soccer, they practice at a park by the river.
He was asking if I had a map of closed claims. I was telling him why there wasn't . Letting him know how he can find public lands and how to check for current claims. Talking about MLM etc.
I started to lose him when I was using words like township..range....section...you know stuff like that.
He lives up by me. I asked where. He mentions he is off of Johnstown creek. All private land in the area. Says part of the creek is on his land.
Theres gold in that creek. I ask why don't you work there first ?
Says he was until the "Forest Service" showed up.
"Forest service? your on private land"
He says " I mean fish and game"
He was running a generator to power a shop vac. A neighbor called Dept. of F and W on him.
The officer told him what he was doing was illegal and he told him to stop so he did.
Obviously I told him what I though about it..and what he should have said and what I would have said and done.
he grabbed one of my cards we talked for a while. I recognized him from school functions or other sports. I'm gonna head down next time there are games and get contact info from him. Maybe I'll go run a crack vac on his creek until the green suit shows up.
This isn't the first story of an interesting interaction with F&W since 637 that I've heard a first hand account I have been told.
Where the LEO left with no citation given, even though the individual was admonished that what they were doing was illegal.
It's only a matter of time before I'm sharing my own interaction I'm pretty sure of it.Though it will be dependent on some busy body calling.
F&W has no reason to be where I'm at otherwise.
