Have you been Checked?

[WDFW-SUX]

This is along the lines of the luminok thread........I have never had my archery tackle checked by a game warden for expandable BH, poundage, lights, let off, arrow weight or anything.....Im wondering if anyone else has?

[archery288]

[cackle]

[cackle]

so is it illeagal to have a battery operated lighted sight but not have the battery in it? the guy at the archery shop told me it was legal that way when I first set up my bow but I have since wondered if i shouldnt switch it out

I've never been checked in Idaho, Washington or Montana.

I was checked last year in the Clockum. He was a cool guy and we chatted for a bit, he gave me some tips and I told him what I had seen.

i was rifle deer hunting in on a gated off gravel road, and i was about 4 miles in from the gate. i was just about 400 yards from a fork in the road watching up in  a clear cut, he saw me and drove right to me to check me out.

Only once have I been asked about any of them.  The guy checked my broadheads and then my license.  Numerous times for license but nothing else.

I got pulled over at a game check at Oak Creek in 2004, didn't check anything except tag and licence.  I was on my way home from the Oakanogan area with a late season muley.  He did however tell me he needed a spinal stem sample and proceeded to butcher my cape in the process.  I finally told him to quit, he did concede his efforts but not before he made a mess of my best muley, it cost me an extra $50.00 to have my taxidermist sew it up.

I have yet to see a game warden out during the archery season early or late

Ive hunted lots of states... been checked for license in many states... only place Ive ever had my archery gear checked is on a military base. Several military bases in multiple states.

Been checked many times, usually for liscence and tag
2 a holes come to mind

1) Muzzleloading  years ago heading back (done for the day) to the truck at dusk, guy checks me (liscence & tag) then gives me a bad time for being still capped after legal shooting hours

2) Archery hunting, rolling a road looking for a good spot to park and go in, warden stops us and checks our liscence & tags, then spots the 20 guage on the back seat of the truck ( grouse gun) tells us he should fine us for having firearm in the field during archery season, that was a bit of an argument but at least no ticket
