I created an account just to respond to this post. If one is to post in a public forum to stir up a public response, I feel it is beneficial to include all the facts before assumptions are made. For example, a bit of information which was left out of this post includes: a doe dumped at the gate on the land owner’s property which had corn spilling out of the guts. Also, the hunter’s “ area” was not disturbed as he was checked in a shooting house close to his truck and had just arrived at the stand, nor was his son checked that afternoon as I did not wish to disturb the hunt any further on the last day. I gave the benefit of the doubt and probably shouldn’t have and went ahead and checked the entire area. I always attempt to be professional and courteous. Also, I am a hunter and put people’s hunt into consideration before checking them, but the reality is, game wardens can’t always work back at the truck.
Right on. Sounds like you just did your job. Keep up the good work
