Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Game Warden Kills 76 Year Old Man

I have hunted a lot in NC & baiting of deer is legal, but not turkey. Bait has to be removed a number of weeks before turkey season starts. The bottom line is that baiting turkey is not a capital offense. Certainly, the old guy(kind of strange for an old guy like me to be calling someone else an old guy) should have climbed down & not threatened the warden. I know many wardens & most are great at protecting our wildlife, but a few are a$$holes. We have had hostage stand offs with bank robbers & even murderers where non lethal means were used such as tear gas. Why couldn't the warden have called the police & meanwhile went to the house on the property & tried to discuss with family? I believe the warden escelated this shooting & should be accountable. I feel deeply for the family.
