100% agree re: Open Fields Doctrine.

If they have probable cause a violation is occurring on private land, they need to get a search warrant like other LEOs, especially considering most violations are misdemeanors.

search warrant is for places you have an expectation of privacy, aint not expectation of privacy in the duck blind or box blind baw, they are by the book.

Ran into a GW and making small talk he ask where I hunt. When I told him he was able to tell me about every stand on my property.

Apparently while investigating some outlaws 2 properties over to my north, he stumbled onto my neighbors property that had an active feeder going prior to turkey season. The GW then not only explored my property but set up on my property every morning at the beginning of turkey season trying to catch my neighbor.

At this point I expressed my displeasure. First thing is my neighbors don’t turkey hunt. The feeder was for hogs. Secondly, opening days of turkey season and he’s going in and fricking up my place trying to catch ghost? If I’m not suspected of committing a crime, stay the frick off my land. Just because you hear a shot or see someone is actively hunting is not probable cause enough to come on private land and frick with me
