Here we go...game warden called him today and told him to come and get his deer and his bow. The bow and deer were confiscated on suspision that the deer was shot with a rifle and not a bow. After testing it was determined it was an arrow and not a bullet. Is this legal to confiscate the bow and deer on suspision? I would think there would have to be a citation issued to confiscate anything!

Well, at least he took the spike legally...
I think the warden was allowed to confiscate the game and equipment used on that suspicion... Just like searching a car is legal when the odor of drugs is present I would assume.
Now, why the GW thought the deer was taken with a bullet is unknown and your buddy may never know that.

That is a strange story.Any GW can see the difference between a bullet wound vs an arrow wound.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
Don't text and drive.

No new GW's in Cherokee county this year. Unless they were assigned in the last couple weeks. Bearden and Collins are the only two I know of.

I've heard GW's talking about catching guys that shoot a deer with a rifle and then shove a broadhead through the bullet hole to make it look like an archery kill.
Maybe the OP's buddy had a rifle with him or in his truck which gave the GW some reason to become suspicious.
And if the GW suspected that a crime had been committed he would be justified in seizing the evidence. Once forensics proved that the deer was lawfully taken then the evidence is returned. No harm, no foul.

don't want to stir the pot here but there are GW's with ch*t for brains just like in any other profession. Not saying this is one of those times but might feel differently if it happened to me  that being said a job like that can be hard to do and gets alot of criticism from folks who might not know better. If it worked out then move on but I would politely ask why he felt he had suspicion.

What kind of ballistic tests did they do on the bow. I am sure there wasn't any blood splatter on it.

...and why I ALWAYS KEEP A COPY OF THE TP&W GAME LAWS HANDBOOK ON ME WHENEVER I AM IN THE FIELD OR HAVE POSSESION OF FRESH KILLED GAME EVEN IN THE TRUCK... it keeps it more simple that way if I have to call the 24/7 TP&W Hotline ...I also have a 24/7 access card to to talk to an attorney from anywhere in the US or Canada on me at all times as well...the other side of that card is a printed notice that informs a Law Enforcement Officer that I am asking to be allowed to call my attorney concerning my detainment or interrogation.
Somewhere on the ticket the Issueing Officer will have to sign and state his badge number...
I call BS on this deal ....as it is being reported.
WE NEED TO KNOW FOR DEAD SOLID AND FOR CERTAIN WHAT COUNTY THIS HAPPENED IN...and who the Issuing Officer was by agency, full name and Badge Number.
