Met the warden!
I met the local Game Warden today on my way out of the woods. I was running kind of late as I went in a bit farther than I realized, and was kind of in a rush to get out before the locked the gate (WMA) Anyway, I'm getting it up the road when I see a guy with a flashlight in the road motioning for me to stop. I thought it was another Hunter having problems, but it was two GWs. I guess I looked a bit suspicious being out there that late. They checked my documentation, and looked in the trunk and back seat then sent me down the road. They were polite and even joked with me a bit when I came up clean. This is the first time I've run into them, and happy to report a positive experience. I guess it's not always the case judging by reports from others on the board.

Every time I've met a Game Warden around these parts, its been a positive experience. I've never had anything out of sorts in terms of the law so...and I feel that way with most law enforcement, to be honest.

one of my favorite "encounters" with a local warden, was during rifle season and he mentioned "a lot of reports of shooting at night" and asked if i had been seeing any deer, "not many" i replied...then, my dog comes out of the woods behind him with a hind leg bone with hoof and hide attached...he yells "you didn't say you got one!" to which i reply "well, you didn't ask"
