Bud Cramer.
Representing District Four and assigned to Johnston County is State Game Warden Bud Cramer.
Bud grew up in Washington Co. and spent a lot of time hunting and fishing with family and fiends which helped foster his deep appreciation for the outdoors. After working as an apprentice lineman (working atop power poles) and suffering a near fatal accident, he was given the opportunity to return to school and do something he really wanted to do. His dad was the greatest influence on him becoming a game warden. It began as a small boy when dad began investing many hours of hunting and fishing with Bud's brother teaching them the value of ethical hunting an fishing practices. His family, especially dad, offered tremendous for Bud's return to school to pursue his dream career. Cramer moved quickly to make his dream a reality when he graduated from Northeastern State University in August 2002 and subsequently hired on as a State Game Warden in September of that the same year. He was immediately assigned to Johnston County in District Four. There he relocated his family to, Tishamingo, Oklahoma where they currently reside.
