Thanks for that. Like I said, it was just my experience. Most that I have dealt with didn't seem much more than that. Of course I've yet to have to meet any LE here in UT, those experiences were gained in IN.
I too have had bad experiences in the past with wardens. I've even been before the judge for some pretty shaky tickets, ya win some ya lose some. But you didn't even preface your statement as your experience until you were called to task. You said:

Later you said:

1-P, My point is there are good and bad people in the field of natural resource managament. I have met wardens I like, and wardens I don't like and wouldn't trust. I have met biologists that I have asked questions and believe I got straight answers, and then there are those that I'm sure just flat out lied to me.
