Common misconception but untrue.

Here is a link to an article by a retired game warden on Louisiana sportsman. Louisiana Sportsman

In the article he states

We have as much authority for warrantless search as any other police officer; but not more so. The misunderstanding arises from the fact that a wildlife officer may search persons, game bags, coolers, boxes, baskets, compartments or anywhere else game or fish could be concealed when stopping someone in the act of hunting or fishing or immediately after such activity.
