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.

I enjoy listening to John when he gets his teeth into some of these cases.

Bowhunting in those 4 counties is serious business. No gun hunting for deer allowed. Lots of reclaimed strip mines where they planted deer food. Some nice bucks come out of the area and a few massive ugly antlers too.

If two NC game wardens are contacted by two WV and asked to go to a NC residents home with them,, how should that be handled?
Should the NC GW get clearance from the Supervisor to get involved?

I'll bet $$$ to donut that none of the lying GW's will miss a red cent of income/retirement/benefits. These types cost the taxpayers big money, but NONE of the taxpayers will demand they be fired.

Someone has a similar deer on their trail cams and the case is built on that?

Regardless of our station, or title*, in life, we ALL suffer from the "human frailty".
A law officer will turn a blind eye.
Any elected official will take a bribe, monetary or otherwise, to change their vote and/or support.
"Greed" is the name of the game.

* - hired, earned or elected - there is a distinct difference between "smart" and "intelligent"

I am surprised this kind of crap is still going on. Who the hell thinks this kind of abuse will repeatedly fly under the public radar? Time for those jackwipes to turn in their badges.

Some game wardens can be real jerks. Had a run in with one of those in CO when I was about 23 years old and on active duty. It resulted in the only ticket I have ever received from a warden. Happened this way:

I was duck hunting with my father and another guy on a public reservoir in CO about 100 yards from a refuge that didn't allow hunting. We got the decoys out before first light and ducks were literally pouring into out set. About an hr after daylight we watched a CO DOW truck set up about 500 yards away and he guessed he was probably watching us. CO used a point system back then where different species of ducks had a point value and when you reached 100 points you were limited out. I has shooting good that day and limited early and decided to go stomp around in some fields for pheasants and quail so I left the other 2 in the blind.

While looking for pheasants I heard a few shots from the blind. Didn't get any pheasants and returned to the blind about 2 hrs later. Game warden truck was still there. My father told me he had hit a duck that made it to the refuge but he couldn't find it. Since I was limited I told him I'd go look for the bird. This was totally legal since the refuge is public land and I did not take a gun with me. I found a dead goldeneye drake in a small pond and picked it up thinking it was the bird Dad had hit. But when I got to the blind he told me he had hit a widgeon and not a goldeneye. I didn't know how long the bird had been dead and dropped it beside the blind. And then here came the warden!

He pulled up and made us safe the weapons and then walked over to the goldeneye and picked it up and told me I was over limit. I explained how I came to have the bird (and remember the other guys could cover it with their points if need be) and the warden said he didn't care. He knew I had already limited out and said when I went to the refuge I had rendered the bird under my possession and was therefore over the daily limit. The fact I was trying to recover a wounded bird (which is required by law) was irrelevant to him and he wrote me a ticket. I was active duty at the time and the ship was leaving on deployment so I couldn't go to court. Ended up pleading no contest and paid $168 fine (this was many years ago). Since then I have never gone to look for any animal someone else has wounded.

Found out later that the game warden in question was new from college and was so overhanded in how he handled things that they had to move him to another office in the state because he was notorious for writing BS tickets and the locals complained. Never had problems with any other game warden in the 13 states I have hunted. Just that one guy.

I don't know why most people put up with "law enforcement" antics anymore. The old narrative of "civil duty" was dead and buried a long time ago. The SCOTUS has ruled many times the "serve and protect" is a myth, and has bestowed "qualified immunity" upon the enforcers of the criminal edicts of government.

As a NY resident, I frequently hunt in PA with a PA non-res license. I was getting my licenses on-line for many years. One year when I was intending to hunt whitetails on PA game property, I was sitting in my car waiting for the heavy rain to stop. Game wardens enter the parking area and check some guy who just dragged out a doe.

They approach my car and ask for my hunting license. I tell the guy that its hanging on the back of my backpack and that I'll have to get it. When I hand him the license, he initially tells me that he's never seen one like it and asks where i got it. I explained that it was mailed to me in NY. Upon further inspection he says that it appears to be last year's license. I look and he was correct, so I reached into the car where the new rule book was and produced the current license which was still in it. I had forgot to swap it out with last years. The guy tells me that he has to "write me up". I remind him that not only do I possess the current license but that I am merely sitting in my car and not doing anything that requires a license of any type. The guy says that I have an "improperly displayed license", even though it was laying on the floor attached to my pack and I wasn't hunting. He tells me, quite candidly. that he has to justify his job.

I guess I was guilty off intending to hunt with an improperly displayed license. I wonder if I said I was there just bird watching???

When the old game warden for our county retired, a new one was assigned. He wanted his kid to go to our high school because the football program there was SOLID, and he thought the kid could get a scholarship playing there. No one would rent to him, no one at all. Most folks there just wanted to be left alone, and didn't want a possum cop living nearby. The old game warden knew that, and we never saw him the whole time I lived there. The new guy made waves, and didn't last long.

I got mad just reading that. Must have got a lot of ass beatings in high school or something.

A week and a half ago a big buck was hit by a vehicle and died 35yrds into a crp field 10 miles from my place. They bow hunter that was hunting the property found him. He's got multiple year's worth of pictures of this deer and has been hunting him hard for multiple seasons. So him and the landowner did the right thing and called it in. Our local warden couldn't come so a desk jockey from Sioux Falls came out. An autopsy was performed and deemed the buck wasn't poached but he said it was too big for them to keep (rough scored at 198 with a broken brow). He then drove around for many days with the buck in the back of his truck showing all his buddies saying that it was confiscated because something nefarious happened. It's blown up on our local social media. The landowner and bow hunter are pursuing legal methods of getting it back now because the gfp are refusing to give the buck up. Really puts them in a bad light. Stories like this will keep people from doing the right thing.
