Thad Holmes really rubbed me the wrong way. A buddy and I had shot a limit of ducks, and had met at a gas station that morning before the hunt to put his gear in my truck and boat. Well Thad sees us unloading my buddies stuff and putting it into his truck. He comes over and is fairly polite to begin with. He asks how we did, and I show him the birds.
He then proceeds to tell us that we have shot to many of a certain species. I told him we had not. He then proceeds to argue with my buddy and I over the ID of the birds (getting more and more rude as this situation goes on). I had to go into my truck, get own duck ID book and show him how to identify the birds. He had no idea what he was looking at, it was obvious, yet he still wanted to argue. He finally agreed with us, reluctantly, and went on about his business.
It just bothers me that a Game Warden would go out of his way to harass hunters, when he obviously has no idea what he is even looking at. If ducks werent his expertise, thats fine, but dont come give me a hard time for no reason.
I never mind being checked, but basically being called a criminal, when i've done nothing wrong will piss me off every time.
