I’m like pf it’s always there properly till 10 of them is standing in the road and you total your truck. Then it’s your problem. I’ve heard of a few around my area that take a deer ever now and again to feed the family. I don’t have no problem in that.

... now all the poachers need to do is steal game cameras and sell them at the pawn shop to feed the family... less blood on your britches that way... and the deer paparazzi will just buy more... stimulating the economy lol They've been doing that already around here....a lot. I get multuple calls annually about trail camera theft.

... there ain’t many of us good ol boys left in this world....y’all game lawmen need to go a little easier on us from time to time... might need us one day lol Could be other way around... ... I’d go on and die before I took help from a breeding pair of game wardens... but they’d probably be too busy writing a citation for me dying out of season to offer help anyway lol

I understand that Swamp Wolf... But for every person on here who has had nothing but positive experience with wardens there is at least one, if not two, who can tell a different tale.
I had a run-in with the warden I referenced above. I was in the right... and after repeated aggressive questioning for 45 minutes he realized I was in the right and relented. The attitude of, "I know you're guilty and I'll keep hammering on that until you fold" erased any respect I had for his position. I follow the laws because I'm cheap and don't feel like giving ODWC anymore money than I have to... I've never had a wildlife violation and never plan to... But that isn't due to respect for the wardens.
After the experience I just related, and serving as a jury foreman on a wildlife case... The taste in my mouth just won't go away. Nothing personal, but the damage is done.
Mike
I hate that its like this with some GWs. Just how it is I guess. Like I said, nothing personal. With our ridiculous trapping regs here you spend more time trying to be @#&$ compliant than you do laying steel... It's such a hassle anymore (coupled with p!$$ poor prices) you just get a belly full and say hang it all. Mike

I feel that way about all law enforcement.
I figured as much. I hope you have better experiences with LE in the future. Is that supposed to be a smart a$$ comment. Is there something wrong with my beliefs in a smaller government and less intrusion into our lives. Just because I believe there all corrupt that makes me some kind of weirdo. Just keep believing there on your side when and if this country goes to shameless. Let me know how it works.

Op got caught plain and simple then started the poor poor me deal.
I questioned Swap and resect the answers he gave and he stands out as one of the good ones. My issue with anyone is when they think their scat don't stink. I've had a ticket or 2 but my own stupid fault and i owned them. I'm human i make mistakes.
Unfortunately the younger game wardens tend to have a your guilty of something attitude and push tell they find a simple mistake. The whole you are breaking the law, not you are doing your best to comply with the law leaves folks feeling jaded.
I literally had wardens tell a bear hunt class in Nv that you will break a law and we will catch you. Shows how some feel about the folks that pay their salaries.
As someone i know once said in a dept meeting "uncle claude says we don't have to put up with this crap"
There is an un-needed arrogance in a lot of people, including some GWs.

... yeah Mike... an old timer told me once “game wardens take all the fun out of it” ... I started noticing how much I look over my shoulder even when doing nothing wrong “ that I know of” ... and realized he was right
... but we still need good reasonable ones ....or else the resource would run out
... they just need to get of the nit pick ticket mentality

I’m glad your a game warden in Georgia. I was wanting to come there and hunt with my uncle but I’ll stay out. I’m sure a guy like you would write a ticket for my pencil lead being to short.

Goodness. What are you talking about? I was referring to you saying that deer were the people's property. I could care less if you come to Ga or not.

Law enforcement is made up of people. So naturally you get all types. Some are awsum some not so much. Honestly I'm surprised how the awsum ones stay that way after day in and out of dealing with the bottom 10%. It would be easy to get jaded.
My local Conservation officers know me and are pretty cool, well most of them. One is 5'2" and a real barney fith. They no longer stop me for checks I'm always legal and few will put in the effort like my family to access the hard to get to public ground we hunt. I think they like it . They used to give the 3rd degree based on out success rates but not any longer. Now it's a wave and nod. It they stop it often to give us a tip about a hot spot or event. Mostly good guys.

... they just need to get of the nit pick ticket mentality The resource is running out. There isn’t deer or turkeys like there use to be. There is no small game anymore. I haven’t seen a grouse in 25 years. I haven’t flushed a cubby of quail 20 years. But they don’t care. Long as they get to play god almighty on the wildlife counsel and get a new truck and special bullet proof vest and all the cool military gear to sneak around in the bushes.
