A "good ole boy" (Buford) from WV went out hunting during the opening of bear season. He bagged one, and was dragging it out of the woods when he came upon the game warden, who asked to see his license. After explaining to the warden that he didn't "have no license", his gun was confiscated, the bear was taken, and he was issued a ticket and told never to hunt without a license again or he would go straight to jail.
Sure enough, Buford went to the local hardware store and got himself a hunting license and bought him a new gun. He went out the next day and bagged another bear. As he was dragging it out of the woods, he came upon the same game warden, who asked to see his license. Proudly, Buford displayed his license, and the game warden asked, "Where's your bear stamp?" "I ain't got no bear stamp", replied Buford. Whereupon, the game warden confiscated his new gun and the bear, and admonished him to never hunt for bear again without a bear stamp.
Not willing to give up, Buford went back to the hardware store, got himself a bear stamp and a new gun. Early the next morning, Buford was dragging a bear out of the woods when, sure enough, there stood the game warden. Buford again proudly whipped out his hunting license and pointed happily at the bear stamp. The warden looked everything over and pronounced everything to be in order, and was looking over the carcass. After a couple of minutes, the warden asked, "Tell me something, Buford, I see this bear was shot right between the eyes. How many shots did you take at him?"
"Only one", exclaimed Buford, looking very cocky.
"Well why are there also bullet wounds in both his front paws?", asked the warden.
"Well, ya see officer, when I hit him with my spotlight, he reared up on his hind legs and threw both paws in front of his eyes, and that's when I nailed him!"
You can now reach Buford at PO Drawer 901, c/o Huttonsville Correctional Center, Beverly, WV.
