Bear check stations?

[arnold]

When them boys were younger I took them to a bear check station to see the bears brought in. 
Has the PGC Put out rules for check stations this year?

other than pages 37 &38 in the Digest what rules are you referring to?

I am assuming Arnold is referring to how Covid may impact the check stations. They probably don;t want people just hanging around to look at checked bears.

[arnold]

I thought they may not allow spectators because of the virus.

Bah! Every year I go over to the station behind PGC/HQ, just to pester Rosenberry and the redheaded gal that lives down the road from me.

If you kill a bear....don't forget to put a mask on said bear before you go to the check station.

Pretty sure some smart arse will show up at a check station with a masked bear?

Highlight of my check station visit last year, was a young feller showing up with a fairly decent bear. About a dozen onlookers watching it get weighed. More I looked at that guy, more it seemed I knew him. Asked the red headed gal what the name was on his tag and she told me. Walked up to him, congratulated him on the bear, said you don't remember me, do ya?

He said I think I know you. Gave him a hug, told him I fetched him home from the hospital when he was born. He laughed, said now I know who you are. His dad was on active duty in the Navy when the kid was born, so I filled in with the baby stuff. Good buds from HS, also the best man at his parents' wedding.
