My recreational license, which I must sign reads "I agree to show all licenses, transport tags, catch record cards, my drivers license and any fish and game to a Department of Fish and Wildlife employee when requested."


 :yeah:  Hunting is a PRIVILEGE not a RIGHT.

YEP...
and because of that, i wonder why this thread even exists.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Every game warden i have run in to has been courteous. If you give them some kindness they usually return it.

 :yeah: :yeah:
Checkpoints are unconstitutional.... no matter what some nut judge or applogist says.

GW should be out doing their jobs and catching people in the act.  They should not be out stomping all over out constitution, even if idiots have made excuses for these acts (by idiots, I mean our courts).

 :twocents:

No probably cause, no stopping.  Can they stop you in your car just because you are in the act of driving?  No!!!  All checkpoints are unconstitutional, not just GW checkpoints.

Wish we had more check points. I like to pick their brains and find out where the big ones are hiding... ;)

I have never had an issue with a check point. My best friends Dad used to check us up at North Bend all the time when I first started hunting.

some more very comical posts here.

here's what the regs say like PA Ben posted

by signing up and buying a hunting license you are signing up for or permitting under your own doing, the wdfw to possibly check you over if you look like you are hunting. you sign a piece of paper authorizig that. i'm not sure how people can say it's unconstitutional.  :dunno:
if you don't break the game laws, you don't have anything to worry about at a checkpoint...just like if you don't get drunk and drive your vehicle you don't have anything to worry about at a DUI check point.

  I love the logic of the "probable cause" guys on here and saying it is unconstitutional. I love our constitution and yes there are examples of it being violated. And yes I have had bad experiences with gamies as well as quality experiences. JUST LIKE ANY OTHER SERVICE! Anyway the game checks are there to help us. Most of these guys are courteous and will stop you and ask you a few key questions, if all is good your on your way. If they see you fumbling around in your truck, they may want to see your guns to make sure there unloaded. DUH!! If your acting like your hiding something, carrying a gun in your truck and leaving an area that has been KNOWN to have poaching occur, how is that not probable cause? I have heard guys complain cuz gamies stopped by their house and questioned them after seeing six deer hanging from a tree next to a road. Duh!! Probable cause! Probable cause just gives them the opportunity to ensure your legit,which is what they find 90 % of the time. The other 10 % get busted.

PLEASE GIVE ME MORE CHECK POINTS AND RUDE HUNTERS/PEOPLE GETTING CITED FOR MINOR VIOLATIONS.  Oh for those of you who think you pay their wages and work for you...add up how much you actually pay them really and it won't amount to a piss drip.  Absolutely amazing how people can wank about the people who really maintain our ability to hunt.  Without gamies the poaching would be so rampant seasons would be so reduced and eliminated that no one could hunt.   Stop them and write them up if they have a violation.
