Some call Dave Resser a modern Wyatt Earp. When it’s time to drive into town from his rural turf, he shows up to Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office logistics meetings with his classic cowboy hat and boots. He’s also armed with a righteous mustache that could put Tom Selleck's own to shame. He’s the resident deputy for a huge chunk of land in Shoshone County that ranges from the Bitterroot Mountains to the south county line. He’s only one man patrolling the backcountry bordering Benewah County to the state line. Sheriff Mitch Alexander wrote on Facebook: "He handles an area half the size of Delaware all by himself." “It’s a huge area for one person,” said Resser/Nicole Hensley, KXLY.

Question: Do you now or have you ever worn a mustache?
