I hunt this park alot and all the park security knows me. I was hunting this evening and the young guard started a conversation. I had a deep tab tone so I walked to the truck and got the small shovel. Man his eyes got big and said he couldn't let me use a shovel in the park. I got him to at least let me show him I could get the target and not see the hole when through. The soil was just right having had rain 2 days ago. I got the comment not to do it to often so its OK. It was a tab with tail.
Just goes to show you can break down barriers if you use an opportunity when its there. Nothing is every said about a trowel but pull out a shovel in any of the 230 parks in my county and they will put you in the pink cell downtown w/ a $500.00 fine. Believe me the security people look at my holes and Im still hunting.
