Noah I will tell you my run in with the game warden that got pretty heated...Not all game wardens are this wat but this one was a complete a$$ ....And treated me like a crook...I hunted my personal ranch and I had a friend who need a cuple of hogs to work his young dogs on so I was bring 2 sows home he seen them in my trailer and pulled me over I had my dogs and he new I had been hunting....This was october and it was bow season hear he made me get out of the truck walk to the back and put my hands on the side of my trailer and patted me down 2 people I new passed that was embarassing ......They called my wife and ask her what was going on and she got upset because he would not let me answer my phone ..... Now this was the problem  it was october and I had not bought a hunting license I don't care much for deer hunting so I don't by one until about nov. every year ......Well he said I had to have a hunting license to hunt hogs and he was going to write me a ticket for no hunting license...I said I did not need one to hunt hogs and he lit in to me  about hog hunter think they know everything and you have to have a hunting license to hunt a bull frog.. Well that is when the smartass came out in me he hit the button.Well being you gamewardens think you know it all you need to go and read your hand book...The book says you have to have a hunting license to hunt feral hogs in texas... UNLESS you are hunt private property that they are damageing I was hunting my ranch witch fell under that catagory.... A county dept. seen it was me and came back and told the GW that I was a good guy and would not cause any harm..He laid my drivers licnese on the side of the trailer and left not aother word to me...I thought that was very disrespectful and unprofessonal...So I understand about how the laws read!! Now I HAVE DELT WITH SERVERAL OTHER GW'S AND THEY WERE VERY NICE JUST THE 1 WAS AN A$$!
