i live in WV and our system seems to work very well. landowner/residents can hunt without license but numbers are tracked by checking deer in. in recent years numbers have been declining, but alot of that has to do with summer droughts, etc. as to the thoughts about the game wardens, i am a firm believer in constitutional rights, however, i have nothing to hide and would gladly talk to any game warden or police officer(even thoughsome of the locals are a bit of a joke)for that matter but since i dont know the ins and outs of every local game law(even though i know more of them than most) i dont feel comfortable forming a distinct opinion on that matter, but i would support allowing game wardens free reign(with maybe some restriction if it came down to it
