I was recently collecting beetles in Arkansas. I was told by a State Park Ranger in Polk County that a permit was required to collect in National Forests. I could see no point in correcting her as I was camping in a park at the time and didn’t want her to think I was collecting there as well.
The next day I was collecting in a National Forest area in Stone Co., AR and was stopped by a state wildlife official. Again, he thought that what I was doing was illegal, all with the usual retarded swagger of a loser with an undeserved uniform. What a waste of my time!
Where do they find these clowns?

My theory is they are mass produced

It is always a good idea to carry with you any notice- particularly from that particular agency- citing the legality of your actions.

Use ain't, get a large belt buckle, grab a can of chew. This method works miracles. Avoid the use of Latin terms that makes them feel uncomfortable.

As soon as they saw me with the butterfly net they knew that something ain't right. Had I been collecting tiger beetles with a 12 gauge they wouldn't have noticed.

One of my other passions is collecting Indian arrowheads. Once I was walking over a plowed field probably half the length of a foot ball field away from a creek. Even though I obviously had no fishing pole or tacklebox, a Fish and Game guy approached me and demanded to see my fishing license! This was in Kentucky so that probably explains a good deal. I lived my first 30 or so years there and as an expatriot folks from elsewhere give us a bad rap. Mention you originate from there and people always assume you lived in the coal mountains when actually the part I come from is beautiful bluegrass horse farm country.
Anyhow, these Wildlife guys are as close to stereotypical as it gets.
Just call us Appalachian-Americans!
