I've read this thread long enough to finally make a response. With most of the hacking on the warden, there are always two sides to the story. I've never had a problem with Mr. Nix. I think that the Perdido wma is a lot better place due to what he does out there. To the guys swimming with his kids, sounds that he could of been concerned with your safety and thought it might not be the best location for your family day during a gun hunt. And if the guy was walking down a railroad track looking around with a loaded rifle and nice buck would have showed his face, I bet he would of shot. So he was hunting in my opinion. Could be the high guilty rate in the county says something of the solid cases they make. Do it legal or don't do it. just sayin.
