The current waterfowl season opened on October 1 in S. D. as it is in the central flyway. ; Also the shooting started at noon. Ben -and some friends were in a good spot for some pass shooting and were awaiting the whistle hour to start shooting. To play safe they waited until their watches pointed to five after noon. The early shooting was good and a few ducks were down when nearby a car skidded ! to a stop with siren screaming and .red lights flashing. Across the land hurried a fe'deral warden.. Says he, "Sorry boys, but I'll have to take your guns and your ducks and place you . under arrest." "For what?" asked one of the Cave party. . "You were shooting too early," said the warden. -. The supposed guilty hunters argued that their watches showed . rearly twelve-thirty. The warden's watch must be wrong. The warden assured them that it was npt wrong. After much arguing which accomplished little the boys talked the warden into taking a time check on his car radio. He did. The time check showed that it was 12:30 p.m. and that the warden's watch was wrong. "That is funny," he said, "I set my watch by the old hotel clock in Bismarck just before I came out here." "What clock was that?" one of the party asked. "The hotel clock," replied the officer. Some of the boys laughed then and offered the following: "You must be new around here, officer. That clock hasn't run in years." ' ' . - ' Just goes to show you that even our most respected law en forcement officers can err once in a while.
