One of my non-hunting cousins was once forced to unload a wagon full of wood along side the road because the game warden assumed that he might have a poached deer hid under the wood. A game warden can walk right up to your deer stand or blind while you are trying to hunt because he assumes that you might be hunting without a license. They can do some pretty in-depth searches of property based on assumptions. So, i wouldnt be surprised if this could be another instances of someone being a victim of assumption.
