Not with Mr Green Jeans you don't. Those bastards don't even need a warrant to start searching your property.
It's ridiculous.

Bunch of cases challenging it in several states. Reading summaries and the unbelievably crazy shite GW’s have and done and testified to under oath, you get the feeling the two most important characteristics of a GW are that the ability to stalk and obsess like a teenage girl that just got her license and a crack habit.

It would be a shame if one got shot bc someone thought it was game they were hunting. They obviously need to do better with camo and hiding.

Federal excise taxes on fishing, hunting, and firearms equipment that’s a dedicated revenue stream for conservation and wildlife management. Part of how the funds get allocated state by state is the number of paid license holders per state and the state has to put up matching funds (which come from license sales).
and fishing/hunting licenses.

Purple paint means nothing to Mr. Green Jeans. Open Field doctrine trumps your purple trees.

Institutions with power exercise that power. They will always find ways to oppress those they believe are “under them.”

Please explain this to this ignorant. Do they take your property under the law and not give it back? Like guns or property?
I just want to understand.

Any property used in the commission of the crime is subject to seizure.
Boat, guns, trucks, gear, etc. No. They don’t give it back if you are guilty. I have never heard of land being seized.

We became good friends with the local warden... Dude never harassed or given us any issues ever. He knew we were on the up and up. But as far as the idiots a few camps down from us, he busted all the time. Hunting over the limit, after hours and without plugs.

Game wardens have been the biggest abusers of rights for a long time now.
If it’s public land they can do what they want but there needs to be restrictions on entering private land. Sit on the public road and stop hunters to check them for licenses and game limits when they leave the property but entering private property and videoing hunters should require probable cause and a warrant.

How is that legal? Or safe?

Put booby traps on property.

I read this whole thread and very little discussion of poachers. They are real. I have them come on my property and poach. Cameras all over my property showing the poachers climbing fences. Hate to see them take their guns and truck away but it's a crazy way to learn a valuable lesson. I'll gladly let game wardens come hide and wait for you to poach and lose your stuff when you come poach on my property. When you own property, you don't want the poachers there at all. Remember 30 years ago the guys who had killed something like 300 grobecks? The agents got them and they served time. Somebody who catches 3 fish too many is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about those who poach and steal your stuff on our property. Wardens can take their stuff while committing crimes on my property. Perspective if you own a lot of acres.

I've turned in many poachers and given reports of poaching, and most conservationists I know will do the same. A poacher is a thief with a gun, and more often than not they're poaching on land where game and fish isn't pressured, so the hunting is easier. That's why poachers get passed off as being, "good at hunting," when all they're really doing is being the first man on maw maw's 130 acre lot where the game isn't privy to pressure. If that's the case and game wardens think it to be so, then contact the landowner and setup shop.
That doesn't mean they also have the right to drive across a mile of my property and check my deep freezer to make sure I don't have more than the allotted fish filets allowed by law. They don't have a right to enter a food plot miles back in property because they feel like checking my blackpowder rifle is really blackpowder and blow up my hunt because of some bullshite, unconstitutional open fields doctrine. They can go ham on public land, but stay off my property unless you've got a warrant.
What gets me about game wardens, and this is a universally accepted experience by pretty much everyone I've talked within my area of Mississippi, is that you can have video/photo evidence, you can have all they need to start an investigation, and more often then not they'll "muh, I've got to catch them, not you," and move on with business of shitting on 4th amendment rights. They're lazy in that respect, and I don't know if it's ego, or they just don't want to do it the way other LEO has to because they don't have to, or both.
Bust all the poachers you want, but get a fricking warrant or permission, and leave the law abiding citizens out of it.
