Game wardens mainly try to test the hunters by putting decoys out to see if the obey the law or not.
There seeing if they respect the law or not.
They usually get at least one every time.
The only thing I don't really like about game wardens is that if you get sopped your usually leaving with a ticket because they will try and find any little violation even though its not a big deal. I know that's there job but I would think they be more lenient on minor violations.
Game wardens in some areas have general law enforcement authority which means they can affect arrests for most crimes including traffic, and other general violations of the law.
Game Wardens can search with or without warrant.
Game Wardens are employs of the state or the government.
