I would rather have the game wardens being a little more strict than lenient in my area. As long as you aren't breaking the rules, they can't fault you for anything. If you witness someone breaking the laws on your property, they would be the first ones that you call. We need strict game wardens to come down hard on the ones who do poach. I agree that you should go to court and tell your story. That is why we have the judge, so he can decide if what you did is right or wrong and whether you should be punished, but the game wardens are doing hunting as a whole a big favor by trying to uphold the laws for us. Hopefully you will shake this experience off and become able to work with the game wardens if you need their help. I am not a game warden, just respect their work.
