irishfield Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Bruce Ward has retired from the MNR !! Meet a really nice new CO today, saw the truck parked at my gate and then this poor guy walking the 1200 feet to the house so I meet him 1/2 way. He has taken the reins from Wayne Lintack and Rick Williams. He's absolutely down to earth, looking for law breakers and nobody else. We had a good chat about conservation licences and Musky fishing, local hunters, poachers and many other things. If you see anything amiss in Simcoe County call him and report it directly. Tell him I gave you the number. Joseph Fralick 705 796 1699 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Out with the old and in with the new. Some of the new CO's are retired Cops I have learned. They seem to take enforcement a bit more serious. That is until they have banged their heads against the stone walls of Queen's Park one too many times and become complacent like most that are on any job too long.

Old Ironmaker Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Yea that's old enough to retire from the Cop shop. Actually some pack it in after 10 years or so, get some meat on their resume and move to a less hazardous branch of law enforcement, or go into lucrative private security. One kid I know landed a job with a wealthy family for a 6 digit salary including a nice place on the estate, driving kids to school, wife shopping and the patriarch to the airport and meetings. Sometimes accompanying them on the private plane to exotic locals. Nice gig but on call 24/7/365. Edited October 16, 2017 by Old Ironmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 .. or at your door Brian! Not sure if Rick retired or not. Wayne has... Have not seen Rick around here for about a year. Then again, have not seen a CO around here at all. I do know where they have been camped out. Snaggers beware. No Sturgeon in that river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomkat Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 That must have been the same guy that I encountered on Georgian Bay years ago, really rude and lectured me about musky and conservation license. I just told him hes missing the point. He kinda put a damper on a beautiful day by getting under my skin. Started going on about convincing a judge I would be in possession if taking a picture blah blah blah. Im pretty safe though since I cant buy a musky in the bay!

Acountdeleted Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yeah I've been in management. That's a different definition though. That's inadequately compensated slavery (I'm going to let my Millennial roots show for a second) Sounds a lot like doing an internship or a placement.
