re: Is Game Warden activity Constitutional

---

They stop anybody that is engaging in the recreational activity of hunting/fishing.

Outside of that they have to abide by the same rules as a regular cop.


Now, an argument can be made that you don’t need a license but that’s a different topic.

Not required. They will check you at a boat ramp regardless of what you are doing. Prior to the boat going in the water. Happens here in Georgia and South Caolina on the regular because for about 4 years they have been on limited mileage and hours on vehicles and boats LOL. I was checked for a fishing license Saturday afternoon by a Georgia Game warden with a Licoln County Deputy present, at a boat ramp, as I pulled up and started untying my boat. I did not have a rod and reel in my possession. I had done some maintenance on my boat and during a lull in the monsoon I was testing it out. Guy insisted on seeing a fishing license, which I had and gave him, and my drivers license, again which I gave him, boat registration (probably legit), which I gave him, and a parking pass, which I gave him. This is so normal that to quastion it would mean you may as well not even attempt to hunt or fish. I know that allowing them to abuse rights this way encouages it but I ain't fighting that fight.
