Welcome AutaugaGW. Hope you remain as a member.
Dont be shy.
My last encounter with a warden is kinda funny to me. I left our gate open and got to climber well before sunrise, at about 830 i see someone walking up the road to the food plot next to the creek where my stand is. I see the person stop at the house and look up in it and see it is empty. Then he proceeds on down the road. He comes back out about an hour later. I assumed he walked to the other stands off the road. He just walked on out and when I came down and left at 11 he was gone.
To anyone who asks why I didnt alert him to my presence I would say that I didnt want to ruin my hunt. I dont bait, have a lifetime license, and the record sheet (and an ink pen). If he had seen something he was concerned about I assume he would have waited for me. I will add that as he walked down the leaf covered road he did not make any noise. Very stealthy.
