I Need Some Bullets, Hurry Up Narrative

Mr. Ouchley recounts a story when he as assistant manager at Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge in 1981. He woke up to the manager of the refuge, Bobby Brown, saying he needed some bullets. Mr. Ouchley got out of bed and ran over to get the second assistant manager, Charlie Herbert, and got in a boat and raced to find Bobby, who was at a tug boat interrogating the crew about some poacher plaguing the area. The tug boat crew plead their innocence, but said there was a john boat in the area and suggested that might be who they were looking for. The three men set off to find the john boat, in which they did and the houseboat that was home base for the poachers. They managed to boat the houseboat where they found four poachers, five deer, and over thirty rabbits. When Mr. Ouchley asked the manger about the message he had received about the bullets, Mr. Brown stated he forgot to take some with him. Organization: FWS Name: Kevin Ouchley Years: Program: Refuges<
