10 Ways to Know You Work for a State Wildlife Management Agency

Ozzy the Otter on the bookshelf next to my desk.

10. You have to pay to use the water cooler.

9. Orange is everywhere.

8. Half of the people working there carry guns and have gun safes next to their desks.

7. The common mentality: It is important to teach children how to shoot. Not what they are shooting or why they are shooting it.

6. They will pay to have you learn how to shoot a bow and arrow (meanwhile looking upon you with pity).

5. The common sentiment about salads: "That's not food. That's what food eats."

4. It is commonplace to leave your fresh, newly severed elk head in the public parking lot during hunting season.

3. You work for free and they still complain about your project.

2. You have dead things in your office and you did NOT put them there.

1. You work for The Man - in particular a white, conservative, skinny old man.
