re: So wildlife and fisheries can basically do whatever they want?

A guy at work said his dad was in the Air Force stationed up in colorado or somewhere around there and during the test runs one of the bombers locked on to a deer, the commanding officer told him to light it up and he did. Just so happen to have a WF agent watching the deer when he lit him up. By the time the plane landed at the base, the agent was there and told him that the pilot and officer better be out of that state by the next day or he was going to seize the plane and throw both of them in jail. Later that night they were reolcated to Mississippi.

I call shenannigans on that story. Was that guy honestly saying that there were bombers roaming around searching out random deer to "light it up"? What were the shooting it with? What weapon can lock on to a animal? Where was the deer than a wildlife agent was watching the deer? Was this on a designated range and the warden was trespassing? How did they know that the "weapon" wouldn't lose "lock" on the deer and then "lock" on the agent? How would the agent seize a plane that is already the property of the federal government? You should falcon punch that "guy at work" for telling such an unbelievable story.
