What if You Were Warden?: Investigating Deer Hunters

[greatwhite]

Interesting what would you do?

In New Hampshire,party hunting is not allowed. Once the tag is filled,the hunter can not Deer hunt. He/she has 12 hours to take the Deer to a check station where everything is recorded as to date,time and exact location where the deer was shot BEFORE the carcass gets butchered. CO's check the station's records,at least, every second day cross matching all information with deer license and tag sales records. The least discrepancy sends the Wardens right to your house. I'm really surprised the warden bought the story. Our guys would have cleaned him out.

Sounds about right.... That is a good show, used to watch it all the time but now, getting tired of showing hunters in a negative light. Why don`t they ever show hunters in a positive manner, surely hunters do more good than bad, Show seems one sided to me.

I tend to agree,but,we must remember that the "good guys" don't sell advertising and CO's main job is to get the "bad guys".

NB and NS are similar no party hunting for deer, moose or bear. As well as soon as you shoot a deer or moose you must head directly to a reporting station.

This hunter make a couple of mistakes that had him looking suspicious and caused the investigation.The game wardens did their job and reached the a just conclusion.I don,t think the show is one sided as its trying to highlight the good job the good guys are doing on the bad guys or potential bad guys like this hunter.

guilty but they obviously thought there was a chance a judge would buy his story and it wasn't worth their time.

That would have ended quite differently here in Ontario ...

Yes it would end differently here in Ontario as there would be no violation here.

Other than bird shot loaded when deer hunting....Use prohibited shot when hunting big game.....
