I am afraid that you and your fellow law enforcement officers have strayed from serving and protecting. Your only real job these days is fund raising, tying to catch people doing something wrong or even setting them up so it is easier for them to do something wrong. That way, you get your h@rd on and raise money through their fines and fees.
Remember, cops used to drive and be seen in HWY traffic to prevent speeding and other unsafe behavior, but now they have unmarked cars and hide in strategic place to catch people. Game wardens used to walk among fisherman and set up handy roadside checkstations to have a presence, but now they put taxidermied trophy animals right off of roads trying to get average joes, who have never even seen such a wonderful animal, to shoot at them and then when they do break the law, the G game wardens give each other high fives and express pure glee for tricking and catching their fellow man. Basically what I am saying is, who the heck is brain dead my friend?
Nope, don't know of any "stereotypical" game wardens, each is an individual, just like you. And yes, we still get "out there", make many contacts of which 97% or so are certainly not in violation of anything, just "routine" stuff, sorry to disappoint you. In Texas, we enjoy great support from the folks that we work for, the landowners, sportsmen and the general public. Roadblocks were declared "verboten" many years ago for game checks in Texas but we still patrol in MARKED vehicles with UNIFORMED personnel and BTW, we are very much in the public's eye.
...and yes, I took great glee in catching truly wrong doers out there, on foot at night usually or in a boat matching wits with a poacher, or two or three. You are not considering a number of things or you have an axe to grind, I don't, I did my duty and finished with an honorable record, no false arrests, no gunning folks down, what's amazing is that quite a few violators shook hands after it was all over. I'm coming from first hand experience, no axe to grind but back to my original thought: hunting "accidents" resulting in death deserve a closer look, I'm not saying that you railroad someone, not at all, get a grip and don't be so hostile. The "brain-dead" remark I used usually referred to some OFFICER chalking a hunting related death off to an "accident" without looking further, do you see my point? If not, then your mind is closed and there can be no rational exchange of ideas.
