I get called to jury duty fairly regularly. I finally asked why none of my neighbors had been called and found out that the lists of potential participants came from several sources and my name was listed as "first middle last", "first MI last", "First Last". Therefore I was in the pool as 3 people.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.

Still have never received a request for jury duty.  Would like to do it one fo these days. 

However on a different but kinda similar note  :chuckle:, I just got a speeding ticket, and the courts scheduled my contested hearing the week of modern deer season  :yike:  :bash: Might just take the deferral offer and hope I don't get another ticket in the next year.  :dunno:

Im active duty, and have received the letter a few times.  I just go to my chain of command and get a letter stating Im active duty and can deploy at any time.  Yes they always seem to come around hunting season, and with the trend of my selection, im screwed when I retire.

I have been on three.  No big deal... But there are some dumb SOB's out there and do not go 100% by facts and data.  They like to feel good when they discipline.

I just do not understand why the courts or even my wife cannot understand.  When it is hunting season, nothing else matters and to leave me alone.  Life needs to go on without me and I will forget about it and work until I return with either my tag or animal in hand..

I was told that having those 2 items adds you to the pool 2 times more than a renter and non voter.
