I'm in Florida but can give nothing but positive reports on our local game wardens. We had a poaching issue and the FWC worked with me and a couple other landowners and we put an end to it. That was three years ago and we haven't had a single incident since. Those guys are professionals, lots of knowledge, care for the resources, and easy to talk to. Our wardens are cross trained and do both land and marine law enforcement. They might be patrolling the bay and gulf one day then in the woods the next. I've been very impressed with the job they do.
