What about the hunters that was out Thursday night and got a Fine from the Indiana Game Commission for hunting his dog when UKC has a permit for that area for TRAINING. The Game Warden was going to take their trucks, put them jail, threatening the hunters, unbelievable. The Newspaper, Mayor, and UKC has to be told about this because this brings in revenue to that town, and the Game Commission pulls something like this, when they had a permit to be in the woods Thursday night. The Warden said they would not know what the fine would be for a few weeks and would have to come back to Indiana to fight it, 1000 mile round trip? Man, I can't wait see who the Warden is, name, address, where he lives, who his boss is, is he a rookie? This needs to be put on the towns web site and will be.....
It is not the Wardens fault that these young men were breaking the law. When you go out of state to hunt, it pays to know the game laws of where you will be. Here in Georgia, everyone hunting in the World Finals and the slam events will be covered under a permit for those official events. If you plan on pleasure hunting, it will pay for you to get a temporary license for the week that you are up there or the same thing could happen. As bad as we hate it, and want to make them wrong, the game officer was plain and simple doing his/her job. The revenue brought in should not effect the officer's discreation in doing their sworn duty. Do I like what happened? NO! Was it right thing to do? MAYBE. Was it the legal obligation of a sworn officer? YES!!
