Similar happened here last year.Friend of my older son shot a slammer buck during bow season.Although he did nothing wrong,,a local warden liked to hunt very near where he got it.Gave him the third degree.Kicker is,,this kid wouldn't poach an egg let alone any game.Theres good ones and bad ones just like any walk in life.

A few rules of engagement for future consideration because IMO you ain’t getting nothing out of this encounter but more aggravation


Always film and record interactions with guberment officials

Be very careful what you say to them and better to not to say anything

Don’t invite them into a situation. Because there isn’t situation that they can’t make worse

A doe season? As in only certain times of the year you can shoot a doe?

A doe only season Wanna be. During the regular season you have to buy a pricey either sex tag before you can buy anterless only. in the antlerless only season you dont have to.

Some good guys in our wildlife dept but seems they no longer have much influence

The use of the word "THEM" 3 times in 3 sentences is why I interpreted this as grouping all officers together. Most of THEM do deserve respect...like anyone else.. No need to keep THEM at arms length. Most of THEM can be trusted.

Hope it all works out for your cuz.

there is no longer a majority of 'good' law enforcement or the bad ones would be taken out by the good ones....

SW, I do respect you here. Your post though could be interpreted as your a retired GW who still protects GW's no matter what, thin green line lol. However you gave advice to the OP to tell his Cousin to record future encounters. That's solid advice and unfortunately in the times we're in, necessary and kudos for giving it. It sucks to have to record and spend money on a gopro.

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on how DNR's seem to be going left.

It was like that, not so much now. Now, you have to CYA even for law abiding folk.

It would be against the law to not follow up on a deer here in PA, it would be a wanton waste violation. Anybody know what the law is here in PA about crossing property lines to retrieve your kill?

Pg. 17 of the Digest...

"unlawful for a hunter to refuse or neglect to make a reasonable effort to retrieve any killed or injured game or wildlife. Hunters attempting to recover wildlife are not permitted to enter private property without permission."

Catch22,
Most folks can record good quality video with their cell phones.

I can only speak to Georgia DNR about left or right trending. Here the agency's LE is a separate division and there is no left leaning whatsoever by DNR LE officers. All I know are so conservative they could've spoke at the Republican National Convention.

The wildlife resources division of Ga DNR includes biologists and many of the younger & newer ones are so far left that they would make Biden look conservative.

I know video evidence got me out of a situation when I showed up to court and showed the judge my interaction. I got the GW on video talking about he knew if he checked me enough he’d find something…4 days in a row. Won’t go into details but he called me at my house about 2 hours after checking me and told me to come back to where we were hunting because he found something and I was getting a ticket. I had already videoed day #2 and 3 and videoed day 4 and again when I went back to see what he found. Never got checked by him or any other GW again.
