HEY, just so you guys are aware, there's some drifter who looks like he's been camping in the forest (common), but the guy has a COMPOUND BOW with him....he was talking about hunting rabbit and coyote....wouldn't shut up actually......he approached me while I was fishing this evening and started taking about all kinds of fishing stuff..then it went to hunting..then it went to him shooting Bears near Buntzen..then he started talking out the BOW and making sure it was ok...that when I left..wasn't worried cause others were walking around, but if anyone is out there late....use caution.

I don't think he's there to hurt anyone, but as I started to leave, he got all weird and asked to cast my rod, and seemed like he was trying to delay my exit.

Shorter dude, blond hair/beard, big back pack, and of course, a BOW

Take it easy out there

Anything the cops or CO's can do about him?

Is this not an every day occurance in Surrey :happy:

 

[Wookie]

I called the 5-0 last night when I got home ..... more for the fact that the dude was a little off towards the end of our conversation than anything ...plus I don't want to see someone's poodle get skewered......

What was their response?

 

[Wookie]

A CO called me at like 11 pm from Victoria and asked a few additional questions.....mostly the guys description, whether or not I actually saw the bow, stuff like that....I was told that someone was gonna check it out....

still waiting for a call back.....

 

[11th Warrior]

I figured once they heard about it, they'd be on it :thumbup: Good on ya for calling them and maybe we can get another whacko out of the woods.

 

[xgolfman]

So that's where Rambo went...I can see it now...Rambo, Revenge in Surrey...

 

[Wookie]

Thats why I haven't gone back yet.....I'm picturing the guy coming out of the woods covered in mud, and yelling "to win war, you must become war!!!" ;D

your one messed up kid Wookie :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

dont be a wuss and get back to the lake and catch some of those scrappy little bows :drunk: :drunk: if he is there just grab his pack and look in it yourself :happy:

 

[Britguy]

Yeh you tell em Rambo
sorry i mean Hook :happy: :happy: :happy:

No dont take any chances Wookie or anyone else for that matter
remember the good sermaritan that stoped to help a guy that had gone off the road
he got a bow in his neck

 

[wagonmaster]

maybe this is why you shouldn't fish alone, or at a minimum let someone know where ur going and when u plan to return. :wallbash: :thumbup:

 

[kingpin]

unless they catch him killing coyotes or rabbits i dont think they can do much really.. rabbits are open if you have a hunting licence too... its not illegal to carry a bow, so i dont think they can do much but ask him to leave, they cant rightfully take it away unless he breaks the law with it.

 

[HOOK]

how is it not illegal to be carrying a CONCEALED WEAPON ?? if he has it in his backpack then its concealed right. im not allowed to carry a knife in my pocket for this reason. how can rabbit be open? in the city? i think this guy was just pulling your leg and wanted to drag you into the bushes for something else Wookie

damn son you got a perrdy mouth :happy: :happy:

 

[Wookie]

Hey, Just because that dude coaxed you into his van to play with his "puppy" last time you went fishing doesn't mean it'll happen to anyone else .... Look, I know its hard for you to talk about, but I guess laughter is the best medicine right now ... I'm sure you'll forget all about it in time. ... just keep using lots of listerine

 

[HOOK]

Oh god im not even going to fight back to that one. that was a pretty wicked burn you jackass :happy: :beerchug:

 

[Wookie]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! :happy:

Oh yeah, back to the fishing, I went back yesterday, no bow hunter, but I did see a ton of trout rising, and the sparrows were going nuts, but no takes


- tried all kinds of chronies, various nymphs, even wolley buggers
- it was raining and I didn't see any hatches, but man, they were goin nuts!

most rises were only surface boils, any suggestions to what they were after?

This coming from someone who's making out with a fish in his avatar, while his fishing 'partner' turns the other way :naughty:

:happy: :happy:

Back to reality; when it comes to concealed weapons, anything that can be used as a weapon (knife, letter opener, hacksaw, etc), if hidden during the performance of a crime, can be called a concealed weapon. If I carry my Grandfathers pocket knife while robbing a convenience store (regardless if the knife was USED in the crime), I'm going to be charged with carrying a concealed weapon. If I carry the same knife while I'm out fishing (and realistically, who doesn't carry a knife with them while fishing), then it's ok. It's one of those semantic things that's up for interpretation by the arresting officer.

As for 'Mr. Deliverance', I'm sure the authorities would make him empty his backpack, grill him on the 5W's and, if necessary, ask him to vacate.

If they were just boiling, they're feeding just below the surface. In that case, I would have fished chronies on a floating line with a short leader (6-8 ft) or gone dry (Adams P, OW, blue dun...in that order) on a 12 ft leader to see if they'd take on those. What depth were you fishing your chronies, nymphs, etc?
