Beware Game Wardens!

[TreednNC]

Not sure about most of you, but I for one would rather have a game warden around when I don't need one, than need one and there not be one around.
Sounds like some have a problem that needs to be taken up with their Legislatures and propose a bill.

Bullfrog - notice you didn't say what state you live in...maybe you don't want their state agency folks to know how you feel about their conservation and regulation of natural resources?

amen


do it legal and have nothing to fear. I personally could care less if they stop me. they would be hard pressed to find something illegal when Im huntin or fishin....and if they do, its my fault, not theirs b/c i think they have an ego problem

I've been checked many times and have never been given a ticket but last year I saw a game warden call a guy out of a dove field so he could check his licenses and gun plug. The guy was legal but..... he didn't unload his gun when he went to the game warden to be checked. He got a $200.00 ticket for having a loaded gun on a road. When he started to complain that he felt like he'd been set up, the warden told him if he said another word that he would confiscate his gun and vehicle. I know he planed to fight the charge but I never found out what happened.

I've been checked on the water and on the land and have never had a problem with attitudes fro GW's. I even got ticketed once long, long ago for being on the water after sunset but wasnt dark yet (but pretty close) without running lights but the guys were professional and just doing their jobs.

Then again, I know of others that took alot of verbal abuse from some of those same guys I knew back then. I just cant help but wonder if their own attitudes didnt bring some of that on themselves. Remember, those GW's are people just like you and me. If most of us get attitude from somebody we'll give it back.....theyre no different. Some of us try to do our jobs to the best of our abilities, well so do some of the GW's. Some of us try to follow the letter of the law....so do some of the GW's. Some of us try to bend the rules and expect the GW's to do the same.:rolleyes:

I am sure about the fact that all of us enjoy freedom................toooooooo many dumb laws are being past...the answer to this when it comes to game laws is BUDGET cuts......Budget cuts for not needed government positions............DAH you dont have to be given a ticket or be in violation of any game laws to NOT want your freedom taken away by senseless laws...DAH............Dah its simple stop wasting tax payers dollars by spending them on game depts that do little are nothing to improve habitat and DAAH Dont pass anymore restriction on our recreational freedom..........DAH

Bullfrog - I suggest you go to your Legislatures, State Representatives and Congressmen & women and propose to cut all game laws, natural resource conservation, oh, and yes, all regulations relating to all of our natural resources. Oh wait, while you're at it, go ahead and propose to remove all laws for your state.

That should get plenty of attention...

I'm done with this one...you just can't beat a dead horse or talk to a fence post very long, you'll get the same reply.

[TreednNC]

Amen to that. I dont understand him one bit.

I appreciate all of your comments, good and bad. I have been a Wildlife Officer in Tenn. for 16 years in the county that I grew up in. I try to do my job to the best of my ability. The most important tool that I use is my HEAD. You have to have alot of common sense. I could go on about this subject for months. You have no Idea how many bald face lies that I have heard over my career. For those of you that are or thought about getting a degree in this field, the pay will get better the longer that you work. I still love to fish and hunt and have plenty of opportunity to do so. If you like the outdoors, it is the best job in the world. If there are any more game wardens out there please chime in and help me out.

I've don't have any problems with any of them, If I do its my fauth not there's.
I have respect for those guys, they see the worst of people.
I think it takes a lot reserve to deal with these sorry lying dumb ass jerks taking our game and fish.
And then they got the gall to get an attitude towards to man hired to help protect our game and fish, when they are in the wrong....sheet.
They better be glad I ain't a wildlife officer catching them, I'd bring smoke, fire, and brimstone on there ass.
That's all I'm gonna say about that right there....As Forrest Gump would say.
