well Stu, i don't know if you're the one that started this ask "the game warden" forum but i'll start it off. first off i have all the respect in the world for an honest + ethical + hard working warden. one of my best friends was a warden all his career. he was one of the finest men i've ever known. so that's where i'm coming from.
not long ago i had a former warden tell me with a laugh that he use to send one of his officers out in the marsh to shoot a shotgun before legal shooting time just to entice hunters to start shooting early so they could write tickets! now i'm not saying it's right to shoot before Lst just that it's not right to try and entice someone to break the law either! what's a wardens opinion on that?
my 2nd question to any federal warden?
how can it be legal to plant a 100 acre field of corn, build a dike around it for the sole purpose of hunting waterfowl over it when it is flooded, which is not a "common" farming practice, yet if a guy throws out a cup of corn in front of his blind he's baiting!
ok Stu, lets see them respond to those!
