A few years ago myself and a bunch of others folks got tickets for hunting over bait at a dove hunt. 30+ people on the hunt. I didn’t see any corn but apparently the landowner had put cracked corn out the weekend before hunt and then disced it under but it was within the 10 day rule.
Anyway, when the GW approached me he checked my gun and license and then told me I was under arrest for hunting with the aid of bait. He then asked me if I had a cell phone and told me to give it to him. I complied and then he told me if I started hollering game warden he was going to take us all to jail.
I didn’t think much at the time about him asking for my phone but looking back on it I realize he had no grounds to take my phone and I should have told him NO.
