Game wardens, In my experience, are some of the most arrogant of the Law Enforcement types. I had experience with them in two states, and the attitude was pretty much the same. They pretty much felt they were above the law, that the ordinary citizen was always guilty of "something" so it was OK to cite them even if it wasn't clear they had done something wrong. In the State where I worked intensively with them for six months, the fanaticism bordered on the psycotic.
It became clear to me, that they were far more concerned about wielding power than about protecting the resource.
