I guess my real issue is they are spending alot of time patrolling private land when there is alot of need for them all over there area.I was checked by 3 different wardens and got 8 pictures on cams of them on days I did not get checked. I did get checked at the gate on sunday
By 2 wardens that was maybe an overtime shift but I dont know.
Maybe i is just me but that is spending alot of time in one small area. I guess I might be off base but I sure thank you guys for your imput.

It really rubs me the wrong way that game wardens are working for private companies when a couple miles away on state land
people are dumping garbage at a great place to shot. private companies should hire there own security. instead of using goverment
employees as security guards.
If they are patrolling the area as part of a patrol contract with the landowner then they aren't using govt funds for the patrol. The company has to pick-up the entire cost of the patrol (salary, fuel, etc.)

That does make me feel better that the tax payers are not pay to protect timber companies interest over public land and resources. I do have to admit that seeing game wardens on my cameras and being check often made me alittle butthurt. So thanks guys for setting me straight.

Does make me wonder if private is also funding their pensions though.

Maybe there is a reason why the game wardens are there so often.   Investigating illegal activity, a game wardens presence isnt a bad thing

I agree that the area should have patrols because the game animals do belong to the people. I was driving in the private property
and was stopped by game warden and we had this very discussion. I was not hunting so they wanted to check that i was not trespassing of
course I had proper paperwork. But doing timber company business just pissed me off.
