History of Game Wardens

1. Medieval England: Kings used game wardens to hunt, protect land and patrol for poachers.

Warren retired in 1996. The photo is from 2009 at one of the annual retired warden reunions at Tyler Young’s ranch. Wesley “Wes” Johnson April 2016 I received a notification from Retired Warden Dick Padgett that retired warden Wes Johnson passed away after many health issues on Tuesday April 12, 2016. He was living in Anacortes, WA. Detective Sunderson is a retired cop living in Michigan’s UP and looking forward to some quiet time at a cabin on a trout stream deep in the woods. Down the way from his cabin live the Ames, a ferocious, inbred family of outlaws (not unlike the Dows in Doiron’s The Precipice ) who terrorize anyone who comes near them. 128 White Pigeon, MI Arrest Records Have Been Located. 128 White Pigeon, MI Arrest Records.

2. 1890 North America: Naturalist John Muir created California’s Yosemite National Park, Sequoia, and General Grant Parks, and the job of game warden started to become a prominent position.

3. 1900: The Lacey Act – Defends game and prohibits illegally shipped wildlife and importation of injurious species. This was enforced by the Division of Biological Survey, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

4. 1905: The Division of Biological Survey became the Bureau of Biological Survey and remained in the Department of Agriculture.

5. 1909: President Theodore Roosevelt added 125 million square miles and six new national parks to the federal system, all of which hired game wardens.

6. 1960’s – 70’s: The environmental movement changed game warden jobs. They are now responsible for stopping poaching and investigating environment or wildlife-related crimes.

7. 1969: Endangered Species Conservation Act. The act protected species “threatened with extinction worldwide.” Other amendments were made concerning the American alligator, Black Bass, wild birds and mammals, reptiles, mollusks, amphibians, and crustaceans.

8. 1970: The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries was transferred to the Department of Commerce and became the National Marine Fisheries Service.

9. Today, modern game wardens are considered law enforcement officers and have the right to arrest poachers, confiscate illegal or dangerous equipment, and issue citations for any crime.

Have you heard the one about the game warden who can walk right into your home on a whim and rip open your freezer looking for illegal game or catch?

If you lie to them or refuse to answer their questions, you’ll go to jail for the rest of your life, and they’ll seize your home, your pickup, your wife and your kids.

They don’t need probable cause or consent to search. They can board vehicles or vessels and root through coolers and compartments whether you object or not, right?

Wrong.

Conservation officers must follow the same Constitution as traditional law enforcement officers – including the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.

They have no special powers.

While I find over-limit fishing and poaching – especially poaching – personally abhorrent, anyone suspected of the crimes is innocent until proven guilty, and has the same Constitutional rights and protections as anyone else.

Here’s a great story on the topic from the 2A- friendly staff at the Prince Law Offices:

The Constitutional Right Against Self Incrimination Applies Even to the PA Game Commission

By Tom Beveridge

Jack Coble of Perry County believes in his constitutional rights. In fact, he spent thousands of dollars to fight a citation he received from a Pennsylvania Game Commission officer – and he won!

On November 7, 2012, a Deputy Wildlife Conservation Officer Steven Shaffer entered Mr. Coble’s farm to investigate a tip about “jacklighting” deer on his property. Jacklighting is an illegal method of spotlighting and shooting deer at night. Mr. Coble was home recuperating from serious hand injury when he was questioned by the deputy. He denied any knowledge of such activities, but left his home to drive around his 120 acre farm followed by the deputy. When they arrived at the barn, the deputy and Mr. Coble came upon his daughter and another man with the carcass of a deer.

As reported by the Associated Press, Deputy Shaffer testified that Mr. Coble became “irate” at this point and ordered him off of his land. Apparently, the deputy did not leave as requested, but testified that, when things “calmed down, he [Mr. Coble] admitted to being present when the deer was shot.” Thereafter, Deputy Shaffer apparently cited Mr. Coble with a summary charge of the fourth degree (the fine totaling $150) under section 2126(a)(6) of Title 34 of the Game and Wildlife Code. This section states that it is unlawful for any person acting under the provisions for “destruction for agricultural protection” – an assumption apparently made by the deputy – to “refuse to answer, without evasion, upon request of any representative of the [PA Game] commission, any pertinent question pertaining to the killing or wounding of any game or wildlife killed or wounded, or the disposition of the entire carcass or any part thereof.” Deputy Shaffer believed Mr. Coble was “being evasive” and, therefore, cited him under this section.

Mr. Coble hired Donald Zagurskie, Esquire, to defend him against this charge. Attorney Zagurskie successfully argued that it is a violation of Mr. Coble’s Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination to cite him for not answering or evasively answering questions of the deputy. In fact, this section of the Game Code effectively forced Mr. Coble to answer the deputy’s questions or be punished at the discretion of the officer.

In what this attorney calls a very commendable act, the Perry County Prosecutor handling the matter agreed with Attorney Zagurskie’s argument stating that it certainly had merit and did not contest Mr. Coble’s appeal. Although the Prosecutor, believed to be Daniel Stern, Esquire, notified the Game Commission and Attorney General’s office of his decision not to contest the appeal, neither office initiated any actions to intervene in the matter or pursue the matter further.

So, what does this mean for Pennsylvania sportsmen? While this section of the Game Code is very narrowly applied, it means that you should not be intimidated by Fish or Game Wardens who tell you that you must answer their questions or face a penalty. It means that you have a Constitutional right against self incrimination and a right to consult an attorney. I strongly suggest that anyone who is questioned by any such officers be very respectful to their authority, but never be intimidated or forced to answer questions. Simply advise the officer that you wish to consult with your attorney before answering any further questions – regardless of the circumstances!
