but there are still alot of grey areas even with your situation.
Did he stop and use the restroom? Did he make a phone call? Was it Daylight when he came out?
Just going by your little description, I would say he is hunting. However If questioned he may have stopped hunting when he got out of the Box stand. He also may not have started hunting till he got in the Box Stand.
Since you are putting me on the spot!! Let me ask you a question.
"you are my Game Warden, you find my truck at 4:00pm on Dec15th. You sit by my truck until I come out. It gets dark, it gets very very dark. (I am sure that most of us will agree that in Alabama on Dec 15th it is too dark to hunt about 5:00pm) anyway I am after 6:00pm when I come out. OH YEA MY WEAPON IS LOADED, I HAVE A FLASHLIGHT, I HAVE ON CAMO AND HUNTERS ORANGE. You ask me if I have been hunting this evening and I say yea!" BUY YOU HAVE NOT HEARD A SHOT!! HELL MAYBE YOU DID HEAR A SHOT COMING FROM WHERE YOU KNOW I HAVE BEEN HUNTING!!!! AFTER DARK!!!!!
What do you do? Hell change it to 7:00pm!! What do you do Troy?
Game Wardens are not God, they cannot read minds or see the past or the future!!!! Just because a Game Warden says you are doing something does not mean that you are doing it.
by the way, I think this is just good conversation, by no means do I intend to be disrespectful to you or your old department. Not that I think you give a shitttt. but I want you to answer with your Mr Green Jeans uniform on.
