Wardens in the woods
« on: October 26, 2012, 09:09:10 PM »
Was up North River in Pacific County this weekend deer hunting with my dad and pulled over to let a rig by, but he turned diagonally in the road and blocked it and out hopped a couple game wardens. Checked my license, questioned us a bit, and looked in the back to see if we had anything, then down the road they went. Yay! 'Bout time. First time I've ever been checked in the woods in Washington. Then we headed over to check out some spots up Williams Creek and saw two different wardens Checking out duck hunters south of South Bend. Busy little beavers. Right on!

Every day in the woods with dad is a good one! He's 78 and doesn't get around well any more. But he still has the desire!

Yah, there is that and the fact they were wearing stun guns didn't sit well with me, and one was definitely the "good" cop and the other the  "bad" cop. But you know what? I'm not going to bust their chops for that. I was glad to see some enforcement.

Why did it bother you that they had taser guns? They are law enforcment and allot of the time they are alone and have no backup. If one of them has si go hand to hand with someone that is bigger then them would you rather have him shoot the guy or possibly be killed by the guy? The stun gun can be a immediate game changer for a situation like that.

Everyone complains about poachers and then they want to complain when they get stopped by a game warden to make sure they are legal.

I wish they would stop more people for random checks.  I drove by the WDFW outpost in Shelton yesterday and there were around 10 WFDW patrol rigs sitting there and a hand full of officers just hanging out doing nothing.   :bash:  With the end of early rifle season drawing close you would think that they would be out in the woods.   :dunno:

Got checked in the Blag Mountain area late archery 2 years ago. Big Game Warden. Talked to him for a while. He was a cool guy. Checked my stuff never any issues so never a problem.

Saw a warden up near Livingston mountain yesterday out of Camas, parked alongside the road across the road from a couple parked cars, looked like he was waiting for someone to return, private property and no hunting signs all over up there. :dunno:
