Already put a new rearm kit in it! Now I am good as long as the green light is on or until 2020. Heck I like wearing mine, I know that sounds kind of stupid. But many of times I have fished all day on Truman and drove home 90 miles and forgot I had it on!

have everything completely legal. The agent that patrols the lindley arm is out in full force. I'm getting kind of sick of the guy to tell you the truth. I know he has a job to do but he has checked me 5 times between this and last year. He thinks he is sneaky in a civilian fish and ski with the top up so you can't see him. 1 more time and i might get a lippy and tell him what I think.

let us know how ya come out

Good luck to you.

It's dangerous business to attempt to exercise your first amendment rights in the presence of the praetorian guard. Be careful.

Ask him to put a stamp on the back of your hand so you don't have to get checked every time you go in and out of the lake.. I am sure he will just LHAO...!

Oh just GREAT! I THOUGHT WE GOT RID OF THE BIGGEST JERK AGENT IN MISSOURI WHEN VADAR RETIRED! I guess I am going to have to go up there and introduce myself! Don't worry if he checks me more than once he will get taken down. We used to have one of the best agents in Missouri up there! If Cal Jones checked you more than twice or three times heck all he was doing is just stopping by to tell you to move to another spot, use a different color and to wish you luck. Heck I got a lot of great fishing reports from Cal! I run legal to the point that I used to even call the coast guard and have my boat inspected every year. Last time Vadar checked me it was under the Nemo Bridge and he had some trainee with him. I was in my boat alone. I told Vadar that if the kid or him wanted to check my livewells then get out of their boat and come aboard! Because I might have a hidden livewell under my drivers seat!

And I don't want anyone to think I am anti law enforcement either! Ray Tipton the Sheriff of Hickory County has one of the best over all group of guys working for him. The guys are under paid due to a low tax base and they get by without a lot of fancy equipment. And years ago I was on a Volunteer Fire Department up there. And numerous times I have had them tell me that if I needed them to go buy and check in on my elderly folks up there during winter bad roads just yell. Most of the guys know that I live in Springfield now and its a little over a hour drive up there for me.

I can remember years ago we had us a new Highway Patrol officer up there. I had been helping his wife with her computer over the phone. I was sitting in my pickup parked by him just checking on him and his wifes computer. I remember Ray pulling up and he got out and came up to talk with me. It was funny Ray told the new patrolman, hey if you ever get into trouble when you pull someone over and see DW just flag him down. Because DW usually has enough ammo to keep them at bay until I can get there and bail you out Mr Trouper! So then Ray decided it was time to take inventory of what I had in my pickup to prove his point!
