I was goose hunting one time in a field pit and we were useing stuffer's as decoys. Stuffersare field mounts frombirdswe took in seasons pastand are legal if you can afford them. Anyway the GW lived down the road and we could see his house from the pit along with the road. He drove by and sawour spread in the field through an opening and stopped and proceeded to walk across the field towards us.This wasabout an hourbefore shooting time was over. As he started to walk towards us we had a group of birds set thier wings and commited to our spread. We opened up and dropped a few, I think 3 out of 5. Well the GW started running towards us shouting to lay our weapons on top of the pit and get out. Dropping those geese while he was walking towards us(better part of200 yrds away)irratated him to no end. He checked us over for plugs, licenses etc and walked all around looking for bait. He ended our hunt by doing this untill shooting time ran out. He found nothing wrong and we thanked him for ruining our prime time we waited hours for. He said he would be checking us every time he saw us there, (it was a leased property on Md's Eastern Shore) and we told him weexpected that because we know where you live not meaning it as a threat or anything. We didn't see him the rest of the season.
Another time we were checked by the Federal Wardens and could see them coming from a long way. They just made thier way across all the fieldsstopping andchecking everyone they came in contact with. These guys were professionaland very curtiouseven through we had no birds pitch while they were in the fields, again at prime time.
