Default RE: 76 yr old turkey hunter killed by game warden

No it doesn't...wardens (in a lot of states and it sounds like NC is one of them) are allowed to do warrentless searches of private property to investigate crimes related to the environment, hunting, fishing, etc...I could certainly see someone pointing a weapon at a guy if they didn't realize it was a warden, or even if they did. I agree wardens don't get enough respect. EVERYONE they come across is armed, it's rare cops come across armed people. No matter who was right or wrong, or what happened, it is just unfortunate the whole thing happened.
