Bottom line, game wardens are public servants, not public masters.

The Regulation Book is full of rules that have the same force and effect as a bill that has gone through all the legislative processes found in our constitution. Many of them were put there for no other reason than to make the work of game wardens easier.

The claimed intent of those rules may be to help fight crime, when, in fact, they are generally turned against well intentioned hunters out for a day of recreation who then get trapped in the maze and suffer the same consequences as real criminals.

Try doing something about it, and you'll likely see the commissioner's backside as he's walking away.

If this change will help to reduce the influence of game wardens and their bosses in cramming more and more of these rules on us, then I'm all for it.

I'm tired of hearing of good hunters being bullied by the system we have in place now. We should all be on the same side working together against real crime and for real conservation of our wildlife, but we're not.

It's like the kids are ruling the parents in our government. We created this government to serve us. It's not the other way around.
