On the surface it may sound like a fairly uneventful job but the truth is that game wardens face dangers that are inherent to the job on a daily basis. Their position involves investigating accidents, property damage complaints, and environmental damage that occurs on their jurisdictional territory.

Im sure i stunk to high heaven LOL. Great post, I'm in Maine and I can tell you from first hand experience they can search without a warrant if they so choose to. I had 2 roommates in a 4 bedroom house, 1 of the roommates was an avid hunter later to find out a poacher too I had a small perpetual grow going in a cedar closet and a spare bedroom; both upstairs in the house.

I got a call at work from a roommate "dude you need to come home NOW!! When they came they wanted to search our basement all his butchering shit was down there My roomate allowed them access to the basement on the condition that they didnt go upstairs and they were OK with it They also knew that I had some kind of an op.

They searched the basement, my douchebag roomate got sacked; and they called the local DEA office and towns PD to inform them of my situation, they were nice though and gave me a 24 hour period before doing so.

That night I cleaned out my Op. They had followed me, thinking I was dumping deer carcasses. I talked with the 2 Wardens for a while, they were actually good guys. They warned me that they had notified the PD and DEA and I should be expecting a visit or alot of surveillance from one if not both. I walked away from my perpetual harvet of 6 plants a week, everything except the light got canned We moved that out inside of a dead refrigerator right in front of the local PD's surveillance.

I then dealt with getting pulled over constantly for absolute bullshit type of stuff constantly, and surveillance on our pad for almost a year straight Its easy to look back and laugh now, but I almost lost my freedom and I was too sketched out to grow for years, its been 10 years now and i just starting up again. A game warden has more authority than any other "peace" officer. On the premise of checking the woods next to your house for your baiting deer, or the field next to your house for baiting doves, they can come and go on your property with impunity.

Yes, and never let anyone tell you differently. The old redneck myth of a search warrant being negated to a home is completely false. Game Warden has no more policing powers in the midst of the law than a normal police officer. How do I know this? I know that a Game Warden has a job to do, but sometimes they are not fair and just! Few years ago, I was at Roll Over Pass fishing on bank like a lot of others! A group of illegals pulled up next to me and started fishing and catching and retaining undersized Red Fish!

In fact they were filling up the cooler with them. I told them after they put the first one in their cooler that they need to put that Red Fish back because it was too small and illegal. Most fishinman were legal but a few were wrote up for some reason.

Finally one of them Game Wardens got to me and check my catch and license. I was legal, he told me to have a good day and started walking off without checking the group next to me. I kinda holler at him while he was walking off and said. Hey you not going to check these people next to me out? Just knowing he was going tear them up. He just smile at me and finish walking off and both officers got back into their truck and left! I guess the law just contains to citizens and not to illegals since they broke the law entering our country illegally anyhow!

They fail to uphold the law!!! That is BS!
