Edge Report post Posted September 4, 2022 Been checked many times in the field including twice in the same day by the same warden in 27. He also checked ammo and took notes on the weapon. Felt like a police state. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sky Island junkie Report post Posted September 4, 2022 I’ve never been checked hunting, guess I don’t spend a lot of daylight hours near the roads. Checked fishing a few times. Sister n law got nabbed at Riggs. Said she wouldn’t fish so had no license, took one or two casts with my wife’s rod and the officer met us at the truck a couple hours later. Cost her like $150 for two casts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only been checked once last five years but 50 years ago it was common for AZGFD to setup roadblocks in hunting hotspots regardless of sunlight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d welcome that back in place of the honor system we have in place now but I guess G$F figures sportsman have become more honest in the last five decades!

I was thinking, how long till azlance shows up I know he hasn’t been checked lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZLance Report post Posted September 4, 2022 I mean, I don't blame it on the individual wardens... they are just over worked and stretched beyond limits. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

654321 Report post Posted September 4, 2022 WM's are definitely spread pretty thin. 1 WM covers all of 36B&C, 1 covers all 36A, 1 covers all 34A&B, 1 covers all 35A&B and I believe 33 has 2 1 North and 1 covers the South. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
