We got checked last week during a hunt. Then teal started coming in while we were being checked. We rarely see them.

I get checked regularly while on the lake. I haven't been checked while hunting since September 1, 2001.

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't almost always show up at prime shooting time. I don't mind showing that I'm gtg. But I'm unlucky in the timing I guess.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

game warden's job is to raise money $$$$$$$$$$$$$ ------ more aggressive wardens = more $$$$$$$$$$$------- It's a very simple formula.

Anyone think traffic cops have anything to do with safety??? If you do , you live in a dream world------ city of Temple, and probably all cities have the revenue of tickets in the budget-the cops have to produce, or be replaced.---- I"m sure if you examine the game warden budget you will find the same thing.

It's pretty easy to start feeling some bitterness towards a system that is focused on taxation through alternative means. I've moved across the country a few times and almost every single trip that I've used a box truck ive been pulled over under false pretense to try and search the truck for drugs. On most occasions I sit around and shoot the breeze with these guys and inquire about why they do it - they always say money. With a big grin they tell stories about how much money they've gotten from pulling over box trucks and taking everything in it because some guy had a joint. I'm not going to say that people that get caught doing that aren't idiots for putting themselves in that situation, but these guys could at least pretend to be in it for something more noble.

I'm not saying every single police office is like that as I know quite a few great guys in that profession, but we shouldn't write off the focus on revenue generation that many departments take...

My brother-in-law is assistant chief for a city in tx that ranks among top 6 in population. He has been there sense he was about 20 and come thru the ranks. Its true and sad...cities need the revenue from tickets. The key for us is don't play in their playground....other words...obey the petty laws!

Who was it in Coleman? We met one of them last year who was the lone warden in Coleman County, he was hoping and praying to have some help this year. I'll find his cars with his name on it!

I was hunting yesterday afternoon on my property, over sunflowers.
Some guys pull up out on the road in a Chevy Avalanche, windows down, with shotguns sticking out and start shooting at birds sitting on the power lines in front of the place.

Of course they can't hit a bull in the ask with a hand full of rice so they drive off.

Mr. GW will have a big payday when he catches up with those clowns someday.

I wish we had more. I saw two different groups of poachers in west tx last weekend. more wardens= less poaching. More traffic cops = less drunk driving, speeding, road rage.

I'd rather the a holes of the world pay then me cause I got robbed or hit by a drunk driver or someone shot the buck I've been after for three years at night off the roadside. Think about it.

I'm guessing you have no clue.........
But tell us:
Where does the monies go to that are "raised" by GW tickets?
A GW job is to raise money? Maybe you should ride with one and see what all they do
City budgets have a line item for municipal court fines?
How much does a city/municipality make off a $250 speeding ticket?
How many City budgets have you actually read?

I have a couple more if you can answer these

How does having a vehicle searched have anything to do with alternative taxation?
