Re: Game warden when asked for fishing license
Well...I guess I get to tell Dad that he was wrong. Respectfully, of course. Doesn't happen too often.

Re: Game warden when asked for fishing license
FYI, in the State of Texas, the Game Wardens have more horsepower than even a Texas Ranger. A Warden can enter any property with only the suspicion of illegal hunting, processing, or holding of game animals - or, for that matter, any other part of the Code that deals with wildlife, hunting, fishing, or the public waterways - without a warrant of any sort. I don't know if it's still done, but it wasn't that long ago that various LEOs across the state would use Wardens to execute a fast search when a warrant couldn't be obtained. "Yes, your honor, we suspected the defandant was processing illegally killed White Wing Doves..." type of stuff.
While on the river, a Warden might not have access to his laptop and instant commo that way, but he's got his radio. I wouldn't sty to slip anything past a TPW Game Warden. They aren't the "bubba" some folks make them out to be.
I say a Warden has more horsepower...did you know a county Constable (the Chief Poobah, that is) is the only law officer who can arrest a sitting Governor or Lt. Governor in Texas? Yep...don't ask me why, but that's the fact.
