Honest question……I’m not trying to be harsh here or anything……but what does a GW do on a typical day during deer season??..... I don’t think I’ve seen a single GW truck all season while riding around……I think that’s one of the reasons no one worries about shooting over the limit or not checking in a deer, etc…..It just seems like that if I were constantly seeing the presence of a green truck riding around in my area I would be more leery about loading up a deer and skirting the rules….etc…….Bag limit compliance is virtually non-existent from what I can tell

The surest way that I have found to contact a real life warden is to host a dove hunt.

They came out to my neck of the woods beginning of season with ghillie suit. Thermal. And sat on people night hunting in the bushes for a few nights. Said he didn’t catch them but ain’t been back.
He parked in my neighbors shed where they wouldn’t see his truck if they drove by.

A couple good poachers working in tandem might kill 30 bucks this season…….Alabama hunters shooting multiple bucks per day or over the 3 buck limit will probably kill 30,000

I haven’t seen one in my area of the county in a few years.. in their defense there isn’t but 1 for the county and maybe 1 for the 2 counties I’m in, not sure. The last good one we had took his own life. He would put some boots on the ground.

I had one checking my truck for corn back in the day and then got mad that I scared him by firing off the 7 mag, I could see him being nosy from my tree about 75yds from the old road lol.. Same guy accused a friend of hunting over bait so he told him to take him to his hunt area. He took the long way through the swamp to a different tree lol. Warden was soaked, buddys bait site remained a mystery lol. That was on IP permit land

TRUE!!!

They are spread thin. The one I know works a lot at night trying to catch night hunters. He spends a lot of time tracking down idiots who have poached a deer or a limit of ducks and bragged about it on Facebook. He spends a lot of time managing hunts on the management areas, and following up on complaints that are filed. Then there’s court time and paperwork. I have a lot more respect for gamewardens since I’ve seen what he does.

Agreed.
Never thought about that way

I guess they do best they can . All I ever met but one was good people. I got a ex GW that lives just up the road he was a hard ass but he was a fair one. I never had a problem with him
