Never had an issue and have been checked many times in Missouri hunting and fishing. Always been nice and down to business doing the job. Out of state fishing in Montana and Wyoming we were checked. Hunting in Colorado checked by a warden riding a mule.
A couple of stories. Around 30 years ago was dove hunting in the morning. Back at the truck was checked for birds. Slow morning and I was shy a few. He counted and checked license. Same for my two friends. So I went back to another field miles away in the afternoon. Finished my limit and back at the truck there was the warden again. He asked for my license and then said I checked you this morning. Got a little sprial notebook out of his pocket. Said at 10 this morning you had a few birds, how many now? I said the rest of my limit. He counted and said well done. Then Fishing in Montana we had our kayaks. Seen a guy way off waving at us on the lake. Then we heard him say paddle over here. We did. Well he checked our license and asked if we had caught anything? Nope and I asked why no luck. He said place gets fished out with each stocking. Said you want to catch a bunch of fish? Yes and he got out a map and said walk into this place. Sawmill lake. Locals too lazy to walk in. We did and caught all kinds of brookies. Nice guy for sure.
So I would like to know will any of you fess up about being caught anywhere and issued a citation? Did you deserve it?
