More Game Warden Field Notes.

Snake in the Road
Game wardens were patrolling Borden County on opening day of pronghorn season, watching hunters and listening for shots in the distance when they heard a shot come from behind them about 100 yards away. When they turned around they saw a truck on a nearby highway take off at a high rate of speed. The wardens pursued the vehicle and eventually made contact. As they passed the area where the truck was previously stopped, the wardens saw a dead rattlesnake in the road that appeared to have been shot. The suspects were cited for hunting nongame from a public roadway.
I'm surprised this is a cite-able offense. My dad used to kill every rattlesnake he saw crossing the road, usually with a truck tire, but I think he shot a few. He considered rattlesnakes a menace and killing them as a public service.

One of the last folks was cited for "failure to allow inspection." I had no idea that was an offense.

The phrase "dumb crooks" comes to mind.

Would like to have been there for the camo air-rifle neighborhood deer shooter's conversation.
Camo guy: "Looks like a dead deer there."
GW: "Yessir, small caliber bullet wound; pretty good shot, I'd say."
Camo guy: "Why, thank you.. uh.. I mean ... uh .. yeah, somebody must have made a pretty good shot, alright...."
