Everyone, but what I saw they were targeting those with trailers and utv's. We we're just in a truck and once he saw camo he asked for hunting license. I don't think anything can happen since we weren't hunting. The were friendly and all but this is just way over the top. If this happens a good bit ill just quit hunting that area.

Ok , this goes for the for the guy,s on here that ,are misinformed about me.theres a hand ful of people that undoutful don't like me.Thing is none of them know me.So for that group I hope you get what you ask for.all I was saying is the game wardens ain't playing this talk game check is a joke.I know this because I'm good friends with a couple of them.dont think there not disguise on here posting like the average hunter.the book you get at Wal-Mart or any hunting store don't tell you the whole law.you have to have the manual, which is a white book about 200 pages long.all these guy,s that are baiting and hunting better know the law.you can put corn or whatever but all I'm saying there's certain caution,s to the matter.for your smart comments to the ones that make them saying I don't know what I'm talking about, you know who you are .it just is funny because of you know crap about me. Yeah I have my faults but so does everyone else.your talking about a major accident that could have took my life. I bleed out that day almost died ,but I didn't let it stop me from what I love hunting. Anyone else would have gave it up but hunting my life . I know a lot of you guys have shot bow tounaments with many of you.

Let me get this straight: This road block was this year. It included other agencies. They asked if you had been hunting BEFORE they asked for a license (not that it matters).

Now Hayman's dad was just going down the road.

I will try my best to lure them into a ticket. Like, "Do you have a hunting license?" "Nope!" Even realizing going to court will be costly and I will be found guilty on the first trial.

Bbdown (aka Rock), you're gone again. In case you wonder why you keep getting banned, let me spell it out for you: You had your wife get on here and make a post threatening to sue this site. There's no forgiveness or coming back from that. So GO AWAY!!! You may get back in here at some point, just like you have 4 or 5 times before, but you always out yourself some way. When you do, I will ban your ass again. So take the hint, no one wants you here.

I went through the one one HWY 80 last year at county rd 13. I was already changed into my street clothes but they wanted to see my hunting license and asked if I had killed a deer. Also, took a few minutes to search my UTV and trailer.
What if I didn't have my hunting license? How can they get you for hunting without a license if you're driving down the road?

I knew about the wounded warrior hunt. I sure hope they didn't give those Veterans a hard time with anything. There were guys coming in from all over to hunt.

Yep. It was Coffey Anderson (don't know him) and Stefan "Skyscraper" Struve. That guy is huge. Doing good things and basically be harassed.

From what I can gather this morning, they are "selling" it as an insurance/drivers license check. Game Wardens are there and if you have on camo or driving a truck, they start asking about deer. It's total Chuck Sykes BS. The fact that they are set up a mile from the processor where there's a big Wounded Warrior event going on tells you all you need to know

If you have the Game Check app then no, but you will have to log your deer in before you move it.

They are there assisting other agencies in DL and ins. check? I think they could justify that. When they ask for hunting license I will hand them my drivers license. Haybale had a whole different scenario. If you don't have a deer what they gonna do? Guess why they are targeting processor areas.

I have actually been raising hell about something similar to this for some time now. The State Troopers setting up weight check points....on roads leading into the mills...and only checking log trucks. THATS BS!!!!!!! I see it EVERY week, sometimes multiple times a week.

i'm 65 and supposedly do not have to buy a license anymore. what about guys like me? do i need to have a document on me? sorry for the ignorance. i seldom hunt any more, but want to do things right when i do ...

Yep.. It's pretty obvious what they are doing. I had heard about the weigh stations at the timber mills back in the summer. My scooter stays connected to my old truck most of deer season. It's going to be interesting the next time I meet a GW

Well if people weren't on here and every other site telling how they are not going to follow the regulations they probably wouldn't be doing this kind of thing. Everyone wants to be an internet hero and claim they ain't following no stinking regulations no matter what. Do people really think officials don't see this? Everyone says they can't enforce it anyway but they can if they really want to and are proving it I guess. If I were to be one to break laws which in am not I dang sure wouldn't be posting all over the internet.

I think I remember at your age you can show your drivers license. That proves age. My dad bought a license when he hit the age and if I remember it said it was good for the rest of his life. But I think there is something in there about seniors and a drivers license.

I have to disagree with they can enforce it. If a person is smart (I KNOW, thats a stretch) the GWs would have to spend WAY too much time trying to catch one person. On the 3 buck limit a person would have to be checked 3 times (at least) in a season ad have killed a buck each day. How many people have been checked 3 times in 1 year?

this ^^^ is not a legal stop, I'd raise hell about it.

one is not required to carry a hunting license with you at all times, tell em pound sand.

I got checked in New Mexico many years ago by a real asshole of a GW, we hadn't started hunting yet and were down the road getting water from a public well. No hunting clothes or guns. He asked for my hunting license, I replied I didn't know I had to have one to load water. He got huffy, I told him to pound sand. He left.

GWs can set up roadblocks, but the rules and restrictions are pretty well spelled out. I used some when I worked and they were a pain to set up and run, but it can be done legally.

Pretty sure setting up down the road from a processor won't be legal. Like setting up a roadblock just down the road from a bar..not legal according to the US Supreme court.

Was just wondering about the bar setup, Fred. That's been ruled illegal. This is exactly the same thing.

There is NO requirement to have a hunting license or "harvest" record on your person when you are not hunting. NONE. Driving down the road -- even with an ATV and hunting gear -- you are not hunting. You're driving down the dang road.

I hope someone hauls their asses into court about this BS.

And there is no difference setting up weigh stations on roads heading into mills to check log trucks only.

The only reason they're still doing this is because no one has challenged them on it.
