DEA has been known to take a possum cop along to do a warrantless search of a suspected meth cooker's residence- - - - -"Got an anonymous tip you've ben poaching!" Simpler and quicker than actually jumping through all the hoops to get a warrant! You're just stupid.

Damn boys...myth dies hard. GW's have no more authority than anyone else. The Constitution still applies.
In Florida they do warrantless searches all the time and the regular police bring the fish cops along on fishing raids. Fish and Game got merged into the marine patrol 30 something years ago in Florida and they became the biggest bunch of arseholes you’l ever have the displeasure to meet. I wouldn’t piss on one if it were on fire. One local “State Law Enforcement” officer named Tim Sweat has taken it to a whole higher level of dickhead. I’m amazed he hasn’t met a bad end yet.

GW's (and interdiction officers) are masters of obtaining consent. The ignorance of people who believe that they are immune to the the constitution is an advantage. When the possum cops show up and say "We hear you got a bald eagle in your freezer but we don't believe it...mind showing us?"...you just let them see the roaches in your ashtray. Game over.

The mentality here is give me the man and I’ll find the crime. The storm (state)troupers in Oregon are very militaristic and don’t play around but still can’t come on private property without permission or a warrant the feds otoh can.

Fouck yeah they do
I keep my kill tags and verification numbers on the back of my taxidermy mounts.
Fuggin shîtbirds Ha. No they don't. Wyoming fish cops closed down I80 several years ago and made everyone exit. Asked if you were hunting. If you said yes, it was off to a spot for a full vehicle search. If you said no, it was off to another spot for a full vehicle search. The lawsuits were hilarious and we have better behaved fish cops now. Tell em to fug off. obviously varies by state even down to warden discretion They’ll dig through your freezers here. I know someone it happened to years back and now I know a warden that I fills me in on local happenings after cases are settled. With the correct paperwork signed by a judge? Yes. Without? Fug off

I have become good friends with my local game warden- he’s very intelligent and not your average power hungry LEO. He’s made it very clear they have no more power than any other LEO. They cannot do 90% ofwhat the legends say they can, however, they use those long told tales to their advantage. Many of the searches they perform are consented to because someone’s dad and grandad told them “game wardens have the most power in the US”. His best quote is that they do not have powers that supersede the constitution.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Particularly as some states get more and more ridiculous with the penalties with fines of tens of thousands of dollars and jail time for game violations. If you’re going to treat game violations as felonies, then all the same protections should apply. It’s one thing when it might be administrative points on a license, a fine of $500 or less, and no possibility of any jail, but it is entirely another with the way they are treating game violations these days. I poach game all the time... may spotlight a few does here in a bit... who cares. WAY BETTER than hitting then with my truck. Fugg a game law. It 2021... ain't no rules no more. True I mean with Telepoach call on checkin. You can not check in deer or you can check in ghost deer to make skew numbers. Check in 20-30 does a season (3 a day limit) get a few others doing it. The biologist has a wet dream. Never done that but has crossed my mind. LOL

I have our wardens personal cell number stored in my phone. She is a great warden. Does a ton for kids. We get along just fine. She doesn’t have constitution avoiding super powers.

Yes, and no. A hunting license is an administrative thing. I believe that when you get a hunting license, in some places you give implied consent for certain things that would otherwise require warrants. The penalties being administrative and civil and not criminal.
