RE: What Should I do, Caught DNR Stealing My Stuff???
I would contact your local prosecutor and/or a lawyer just to see what your rights are before you start making a bunch of waves. A phone call from either of these may get you more results than going to your local police station or DNR office and throwing a fit. Maybe even get your state rep in on it.
If it is not worth pursuing you may cause more trouble for yourself than it's worth.
If you get the media involved and you are wrong things may not go well for you. You might even be liable for a lawsuit yourself.

I wouldalso like to see you post the pics of the game warden. If you are sure you are not at fault I would raise hell. I can't really understand why they would take your s/d card though or why they haven't contacted a land owner immediately. I have to thing that there is something about this story we aren't getting.

I have to agree now. I think there is something missing in this picture (no pun intended
). Most people on here would have had those pics up right away...

Well as a DNR employee for my respective state it all just really seems odd to me. I would say there are various reasons why he may have driven back to check your feeder and I sure would not have found fault with him for doing that. You have a feeder set up and it is during turkey season. Thats probable cause to me.
If you run to the newspapers likeso manyare suggesting,what are you going to give them? A picture of a conservation officer, checking a feeder, during turkey season, and your card is missing. I dont see any breaking story there. Lots of facts missing. I wouldn't run to the press right away.
If I was a bettin' man, I'd say they may be investigating you at the same time you are investigating them. Otherwise this guy just put his career on the line for an SD memory card.
