Understanding what will happen or what could happen in this job of law enforcement is two completely different things. I might have an idea what your day consists of but in the end it could be so different that its scary. Given this opportunity to shadow a game warden is very cool and exciting all at once. But knowing that things can happen in a flash is very nerve racking. You always have to be on your toes in this field of work and trust yourself when you feel like something does seem right or someone doesn't act right. Its a job that never has the same day to day activities.
As it gets closer to this coming weekend, I get more and more excited because this past week I had received a text message from my mentor say that I could be past of some law enforcement stuff because I'm not a minor. So that got me supper excited and then he asked what I had going on this weekend because he wants to go out and check on some ice fishermen and some different lines and check if everyone has the correct permits and as well as fishing lines and also the correct amount of fish for their limit. So come this weekend and I'll be off doing what I truly dream of.
As I continue to talk to my mentor and figure out dates, I have a feeling that its going to be hard this month of February because he goes to Deadwood and trains and has meetings as well but we have come up with more dates and knowing that this time of year for him is very slow and a lot of office time makes things tough, but when I have the opportunity do ride or spend time with him, I will be taking and I will be spending as much time with him as I can. The last time I was with him was great and look forward to having more of those.
I had a great time with my mentor just the other day as we did our bird sex ratio. As we drove around, we saw everything from coyotes, white tail and mule deer and a ton of pheasants. It was great and I had a blast. We drove over 300 hundred miles and spent from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. and it was a great time.
