A game warden, or any other type of law enforcement officer for that matter, cannot persuade someone into committing a crime and then arrest them for it....its called entrapment. Even though the guys who broke the law should be prosecuted or fined or whatever, if these guys hire a decent defense lawyer, the most likely scenario would be that the charges would be thrown out.


In regards to "how far cana warden go when undercover," it all depends on the case. If the people who are under investigation are suspected of multiple offenses or very serious crimes, the warden will be allowed to bend the rules a little as long as it builds up evidence to prosecute them to the fullest. If these people are suspected of hunting during closed seasons for example, an undercover warden isn't going to bust them for something minor. He's going to wait until enough evidence builds up against them that it would be difficult for them to get off. But the warden still has to follow some rules. For example, he can't drive out to a field at nite, pull over and spotlight a deer for someone to shoot and then try to arrest them for it...that is entrapment.
