I got to pay for one.
I'll explain, I loaned my friend one of my shotguns on a dove hunt and we were splitting a cut section of a dove field. He is about 75 yards away from me and I see the GW pull into the field checking others about 150 yards out. I called him and asked him how many shells can you put in that shotgun? He said 5....I said unscrew it (BPS) break off a sunflower stalk and shove it in there. He didn't know how to take it apart so the GW gave him a 130ish dollar fine. I felt bad for "setting him up" as he put it so I paid the ticket.
What would you have done?

I haven’t, but my buddy that I was hunting with got one. We were duck hunting in south Louisiana and camping out for a few nights. I had to go back to work one shift and after I got off, drove back to hunt a couple times. Buddy had hunted that morning and laid the birds on top of the ice chest awaiting me to get back and ask about one of the birds he shot. GW showed up before I got back and wrote him up for shooting a canvasback which was illegal back then. It cost him $300 if I remember correctly. The irony of this was that the GW was known to stop in and visit often, and if my buddy would have put the birds in the ice chest, he probably wouldn’t have even checked

Lots of GW apologist running around here
At least there used to be…
I’ve had 2 petty citations, 1 got dismissed by the judge and I paid the other chicken S one and went on
We literally don’t need Game Wardens or the ATF

They always let the people off with a warning on that TV show; never some poor old guy in the real world. I've seen them not issue citations dozens of times when they could have.

Not a chance, I’ve saw it too Those guys have 6-7 months a year to justify their jobs. They are the least slack LE group in Tx It’d be about like every local Pd officer writing everybody for 5 over they see Saw it many times with my own eyes

I got an improperly tagged deer ticket many years ago. Me and my buddy filled out the tags in pencil, never should have listened to my buddy. However, he was doing me a favor and would not have gotten caught if he didn’t come help me. I payed both of our fines ($125 each iirc).This was before cutting out the dates was a requirement.

I’ve always checked out good, but my buddy got nailed two years ago dove hunting. He was so excited to get everything that he bought his license online the first week of August and ended up buying the previous years. He pulled up his online receipt with the date and the GW said, “sorry buddy”. I would have thought for sure he would have got a warning and then just be told to go buy the correct one… but nope.

I have never received a citation, but I have pissed off a few wardens that were trying to find something. I have been threatened twice by a warden that I would be ticketed for things that I would never do.

Never had a citation. Deserved a few for bad decisions in the 70's & 80's!

I’ve only had one. GW wrote me a ticket for an unplugged shotgun I had in the truck. I was hunting with an O/U. I moved to Tennessee a week later and never paid it.

3-4 years ago I was a dam drug mule, hauling heroin, worshipping the devil for saying ANYTHING negative about Texas Game Wardens.
Looks like the tide is turning and guys are speaking out.
I wasn’t lying then or now

Who cares how or when you killed it?
Enforce the bag limits…the end, or just disband and let the County handle it
If I wanna shoot a 170 at 0300 and only shoot 1 deer for the year
Why they worried?
Revenue…..that’s why.
Want to keep it sporty, abandon hooks w barbs, allow only recurves w flint heads, think about it…
Tickets and fines…
Prob my last post til Sunday, ProC out

That sucks. Never received one, and just like all of us, I don’t plan to. Never know what the future holds. Was cited once for fishing without a license when I was young. Didn’t know I needed a license yet at 17.

Didn’t know I needed a license yet at 17. That’s a hellacious crime All my tickets were prior to 20 years old ,too your prior comment…which is 1, the other the judge kicked out I’m 41 now, but I’ve saw others harshly punished for minor, minute, don’t make a dam stuff Call them like I see em A trusted friend, who is a youth pastor got cited for shooting a dove 1 minute past legal time The GW said so lol Tickets…. He flies right, don’t drink or speed or anything really But I Think you are insulating I am a terrible outdoorsman. That’d be false Chief

Never had a warning or citation hunting or fishing. Checked a number of times. Stuff was in order. I was courteous and so was the GW.

1983. Louisiana, fishing without a license. Roommate wanted to start bass fishing but had never used a bait caster. Went to boat ramp to show him how, practice plug with no hooks and saw game warden coming. What a d_ _k. Judge was as well. $250 gone.
