[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 338065, member: 3373"] Years ago, early to mid 70's, a group of us were hunting deer late in the archery season. Snow was crotch deep so we were getting around on snowmobiles. I had hit a deer during a drive and then tracked it onto a refuge. Got back to my pickup and a warden that i knew very well was sitting there, wanting to visit. Started out pleasant enough until I answered the question of "What are you doing?" "Just tracking a deer that I wounded." NOPE, wrong answer. He informed me of what I was doing. It was something like "You are pursuing big game with a motor-driven vehicle, you are driving off the trail while hunting big game. You are hunting on a federal refuge." Shit, that kind ruined my day. He chewed me out for a good 1/2 hour and I didn't argue. He then told me that he had seen we were following the deer out into the middle of the refuge and when it joined anohher big heard we turned around and went back to the pickup and trailers. He didn't give me a ticket but made it clear that I better never do anything like that again. We knew each other pretty good through Boy Scouts when I was younger and his son was also very active so he knew that I didn't normally break game laws it was a case of poor judgement caused by tough weather conditions. Have only one other issue with wardens but that was a federal warden and to this day I don't think I was in the wrong but had no desire to hire a lawyer for a minor offense that would have cost more than the ticket. Long story but wanted to mention that my contacts with wardens have been pretty positive. [/QUOTE]
