Forgive me for jumping in here, but...... how does a game warden know you/I/we were coyote hunting if he pulls up about the time we are walking out of the woods with gun in hand after Jan. 31?
he dosen't...
but he wil have to prove you were deer hunting if he wants to go that ticket route. Of course dragging a dead deer would negate any defense you tried

I checked a very well known Greene Co outlaw sitting in a shooting house in Feb once. No coyote calls, no deer calls either. I knew what he was doing, he knew I knew . I did not write him any ticket but he knew from then on I was looking at his arse.
