Any game wardens watching this site?

The last ranch I managed had a lot of game on it. It bordered other large ranches on two sides, but had roads on two sides. Because we had a lot of game, and some open pastures, the game was visable from the roads at times. Therefore, we had poaching problems.
I invited our local game warden and his son, to hog hunt with me at the ranch. They were good people and while the game warden was not all that into hog hunting, his son (who was in high school) was. So they came out every week or so and went hunting with me at night. Once the poachers heard that not only was the game warden watching the place when he was on duty, but was hunting the place with his son, when he was off duty....it slowed the poaching way down. No one wanted to get caught poaching the game wardens hunting spot! My game warden even asked of he could bring a game warden from TN out one night and take him on a hog dog hunt. The TN GW had never seen a wild hog or hunted with dogs. We bayed and caught several that night and caught a 230 lb barr we gave the TN GW as he had never eaten wild hog before. Was a good night.

I always had a rifle in the truck, even if we were spotlighting open pastures at night, looking for boar hogs. It was against the law, but nothing was ever said. They knew me well enough to know I wasn't going to do anything I shouldn't do (like shoot a deer at night) so they never mentioned it.

So I will have to say that if you get to know your local game warden, and keep your nose clean, they can be good guys. I am sure there are some that are aren't, but I have had good relations with most.
