Wardens: Operation Rocky Mountain Front | FD Real Show

[@dano9215]

As an elk hunter, I would like to say thanks to the Montana game wardens for showing some mercy to legitimate mistakes that hunters make. (Unlike Colorado) When you get an elk your blood is pumping and nerves are high. I have no problem with getting poachers and cheaters.

[@danlewis6157]

“I did not know I needed a federal duck stamp.” Dude it’s only been a law since the 1930’s. How could you possibly be aware of it if your grandfather didn’t tell you?

[@militarized_monk755]

I don't think a single person has been duck hunting in the last 100 years that doesn't know you need a federal duck stamp.

[@Berm_Blaster]

Federal duck stamp? Never heard of it before 🤨🤔🤣

[@chiliwistcattleco5675]

Never heard of a federal duck stamp tax for hunting waterfowl... crazy useless law designed to make money.

[@alexgil852]

@@chiliwistcattleco5675 Don't hunt if you don't know about the laws simple. Every Real duck hunter knows about the federal Duck stamp.

Im a deer hunter i get doe tags for meat and to help with population and i save my buck tag for a mature good racked buck and the only birds I hunt is turkey in springtime and I never hunted ducks or geese but i even know you need a stamp

Did anybody notice the dead coyote just laying in there casually

[@alonzowitt5931]

A really nice game Warden, usually game wardens want to make a example out of you and they throw the book at you!

[@Milkywayboy]

The warden as he pulls up “Hunting without permission guaranteed” Guilty until proven innocent

[@NickFrom1228]

There are several ways to look at this. But most of all, every single citation, arrest etc assumes there is enough suspicion or evidence to support that. This was no different. Based on what he knew he knew what he would be charging them with. Then he talked to them and determined things were different. I realize we don't want LE to be unfairly judging people but they have a job to do so they have to check out everything.

[@LPAaron93]

Guilty until proven innocent.

[@danieldeanmasterfinisher4715]

As a hunter it’s your responsibility to know the laws and regulations , all tags and licenses required . Ignorance is no excuse for the laws.

[@myboomstick0056]

I completely understand what you're saying but when you have 50+ different rules and regulations to follow it becomes a little tedious. Which is one of the reasons I suspect hunter numbers are going down year by year. Take duck hunting on the river in my state: You have Federal laws, State laws, State Boating laws, and Corp of Engineer rules. Some of which contradict each other. I'm not saying they aren't needed but when you're trying to be an upstanding hunter and you accidentally miss 1 of 50+ rules and get busted with a $150 ticket, it's hard to want to keep going anymore. The massive amounts of red tape make it not enjoyable bc you're on pins and needles making sure every little thing is good while actively trying to be on the right side of the law.

[@TheJTvonE]

[@mechanicgray]

The amount of permission slips you need from the government to kill an animal is crazy 😮

The Old Guy that put The void tag on that elk hoped to shoot another elk. I've seen that before.

[@ProudPatriot60]

So far the wardens that I've watched on here are some of the nicest regular type people like you ever want to meet. They're not overbearing like these are down here in the lower States. They're not down demanding they're not going to tell you this. Tell you that they just explain things to you and they're going to do their job and then they do a good job but they give out plenty of plenty of warnings and I'm not saying they should but here and wrong you're wrong but they'll work with you. They treat you like somebody not the city cops and some of the county cops down here. Real pieces of work. I mean the worst of the worst

[@TheJTvonE]

Game wardens love to make good hunters look bad while Ignoring poaching. Easier and safer to chase

[@paulmartin6895]

I known about fed and state duck stamps when it was just lead shot before they cam out with non lead shot . This was back in the early 70's

[@keithwilson1647]

Those first 2 tickets written we’re honestly a blessing in disguise. Shooting from a road way is wayyyyyy illegal

[@Merrilllewis-c3v]

I understand the nessesity of wildlife law enforcement. I apreciate the dangerous circumstamces they can find themselves in. I dont hunt in the lower 48 as much as i did through the eighties and ninties. It sesms that oportunities on private land have really dried up and with the disastrous effect the wolves have had on elk herds in idaho, the average hunter is forced to push the boundaries, both literal and figurative to bag an animal. Furthermore, if one is hunting within 5 miles of a road the chances of a solitary wilderness experience is nigh on unatainable. All my old honey holes have been discovered and hold nowhere near the game i remember.

[@Doncorleone44]

In 1 episode we saw 3 deer all shot in the legs and rear quarters, thats shooting at long range in windy conditions, that shows a complete lack of ethical hunting

I think he’s just saying ethical hunters will also think it’s alive. Not saying that they would just get out and shoot at it as if they were poaching.

[@leewilson9226]

[@RoosterGardens]

If you can't tell the difference between a decoy and a live elk, you have no business hunting...

[@AndrewPureMI]

Man It really seems like the wardens with the decoy are on grounds that could be a crime or could be entrapment if they were actually charging these guys with stuff and not just warning tickets..... that almost seems criminal in itself!!!!

[@bullcrap9409]

Get a clue.

[@iceyreelz3228]

Asking for evidence of sex with a bull elk head sitting right there is a joke 😂😂

[@Mtoutdoorsman]

Bulls tend to have a lighter color than cows to

[@rudolfyakich6653]

Evidence of sex needs to remain on the animal since at some point when the carcass is reduced it serves as proof. The tag must also stay with the largest part of the meat.

[@theziadragon4322]

Antlers don't count, big problem in my state where we don't have doe hunts for deer. Dudes will shoot a buck then keep the head in their cooler and shoot a doe the same day

[@mtguy234]

Meat could have been a cow elk, not necessarily a bull since its been quartered. So yes it makes sense

[@jackdundon2261]

Easiest way to tell the sex in a car cuz it's look at the pelvis little bitty pelvis. It's a male huge pelvis. It's a female. This isn't rocket science people. There's your proof of sex

I agree the sex thing is out of control especially with horns hmmm maybe these elk are idntifying as something else lmao

[@Peelnout69]

Identify as a Tree 🌳

[@CamDee13]

I think the logic on it is, the antlers show that you killed a bull, but u could of killed a bull whacked the head and left the body to waste, then went and killed a cow and took all the quarters out. but i agree i think its ridiculous cuz with that logic if i had 4 quarters and proof of sex on one of the quarters how do they know that the other 3 quarters are nor from 3 seperate poached elk?...

[@ET-sp6qm]

Forcing people to retain those smelly nuts with the meat is asinine.

[@TomBTerrific]

I believe in hunting license. I just think it should be much simpler of a process. To many are feeding at the trough of sportsman. Over regulation and multiple authorities is not for conservation reasons but for revenue.

Wonder if they have a " wild goose chase " permit

[@finngamesknudson1457]

Hunters are required to wear blaze orange and homeowners are encouraged to do the same so that they won’t be mistaken for dear or elk and get shot. Meanwhile wardens wander around hunting areas wearing all brown. Do they their dear colored outfits magically protect them from accidental shootings? Doesn’t seem smart given stupidity and eagerness of some hunters - it only takes one.

[@thatsright4046]

Gamer warden and police officer are two different jobs a game warden will talk to you because you are a hunter to check out what’s going on and what your up to while a police officer only talks to you when you did something wrong your comment is just ignorant especially when there has been gangs who go out just to kill cops

Its short term minimum effort and maybe need the meat for the family in one scenario that comes to mind ... but then there are all those other cases when the excitement factor overrides common sense ... and what animal just stands there letting you shoot it? Tom Brown Tracker had a standard rule ... if an animal displayed unusual behavior ... let it alone, it's probably sick / diseased / and the meat may not be anything you should eat ... [and that from a man who would eat fresh road kill of all sorts of animals because he knew how to tell if the meat was good or not.] Just saying.

You use decoys to catch hunters. Can hunters use decoys to catch their prey?
