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.

Some game wardens do not have to pay for there injuries the companies take care of that for them.
Anoher pro is that there office is in a truck thats usually were they spend most of there time so if its raining out or snowing or cold they usually just stay in there warm truck that they are given by the comapny unless they get a call.
CONS
There isn't many workers so some call might be really far away. And they have to go to those because there isnt many people on call.
It takes a long time to start the job. Many months of training.
Many old Wardens say this is not a easy job takes lots of hard work and dedication

Training and qualifications vary for fish and game wardens. You should contact agencies that do the hiring to see what kind of qualifications they are looking at for job openings. To give an example, Texas has its own Game Warden Training Center. You must have at least a bachelor's degree in any major to qualify for the training center, and things such as background checks and physical fitness are factors in selecting cadets for the training center. Eligibility requirements will vary by state.

Just recently there has been shooting in wells that occured and game wardens had to rush there to see what was the matter and 2 guys were hunting the same deer and one guy shot twice at the deer and the other guy shot once and the guy that shot twice killed the other man with his second bullet.
So this is a example of what game wardens can run into anytime of the day
