Question about game wardens

Also ill caution everyone to be careful blasting TWRA on public forum / social media 99.9% of them are doing the job to the best of their ability and with the ever changing laws / rulings it's a hard job to keep up with all of it while doing a job

Just ask a member that used to frequent here faired after he did it, Twra with other agencies searched his house and last I heard he had like 20 charges on an indictment

They also busted him in the field doing some illegal activities.

Because he pissed off the wrong people and they was just waiting to catch him he would probably still be getting away with it if it wasn't for that

So you think they knew about it but did nothing about it until he pissed them off ? Serious question, not trying to come across as being smart about it.

No but I'm sure they jumped at the opportunity once his name crossed their desk as potentially breaking the law vs just sitting on it focusing on something more serious like they tend to do
 
I go back to my earlier posts. If the neighbor called in on a concern, especially if he had concerns of someone poaching deer on him, I would be thankful that the game warden was out there checking into it.

Somewhere in this thread the op says the pond they were hunting was only 50 yards from the property line, that's not very far, plenty close enough for the game warden to approach and view activities while on the property he was initially checking out.
 
This really boils down to the 4th Amendment. Back in my old law enforcement days I had a U.S. Attorney ask me what the 4th Amendment meant. I rattled off the textbook answer to him. He grinned and said "wrong." He then told me that it means whatever a court said it meant yesterday. This stuff can change on a dime.
 
Not going to try to start a fight. I have the degree and know quite a few wardens all stand up guys. They work long hours for little pay. They try to give the benefit of the doubt for honest folks who may have minor infraction's. Why is everyone so anti game warden? Would you rather abolish the agency and the laws they enforce? They try to focus on the problem children doing damage to the resource! Yes there are jerks among them but give the good guys a break they're trying their best to make your hunting experiences better… oh and license checks are part of the job. Just my thoughts but I don't fret when I have an interaction with them for I've done nothing wrong.

It seems the majority of US citizens are leaning towards becoming anti-government.
This shows up first in their interactions with LEO- I 100% understand why they feel that way too.
It makes the officers jobs much more difficult, and I believe many of them have cutback, and slacked off on their enforcement because of this. (Not Twra, but LEO in general.)

Are they salaried employees or hourly?
 
The decision, first announced by the Institute for Justice, means that Tennessee wildlife officers will no longer be allowed to access private lands unless they have explicit permission of the landowner, or have obtained a court-ordered search warrant.
