What do you mean? A warden visited my hunter's safety course when I took one, and he seemed alright. It was at a hunting club, andthe staff there knew the wardenand I don't think that they would've invited him if he was a jerk! Maybe a TWRA
(Tennessee Wildlife ResourcesAgency)game warden is different from a regular game warden.) Man, I'm starting to sound like I come from Texas!
Forget the above statement that Tennessee wardens are special, they're just ordinary people like everyone else.

Where are you from anyway? Alaska, 'cause people do stupid things there.
I am in Texas. I am sure all wardens aren't jerks, but the ones in my area ARE! Long story short, seven years ago, my oldest son killed a big deer that we took to enter in a big buck contest at a local convenience store. The lady that owned the store was measuring the rack when the game warden showed up. He walked right past the deer and never looked at it. (As a side note, this all took place on a Sunday morning, and the warden was in "street clothes" but driving his state truck.) He went in the store and bought some snuff. When he came back out, the store owner called him over to see the deer. His first words about the deer was that he didn't believe that my son had killed it. My son was CRUSHED. There was absolutely no call for his actions. If he had believed it, he should have questioned me. He got back in his truck and left me to explain to my son how people might be jealous of someone young killing a good deer. My son's buck did win the big buck contest. I called the state office and filled a report on the warden but nothing ever came of it. I guess they cover for their own.
