If, to your point, the agency tried diplomacy then whey haven't they come clean and public? Transparency and Accountability isn't just plain T&A (no pun intended). I'm again dangerously pushing this to the political forum but it appears that government actors have no sense of either.

This guy took at least 3 deer from our property, cut multiple fences allowing horses to get out and we believe even knicked a horse with an arrow.

Heretic;1481457 wrote:Yeah, but shouldn't there be some sort of happy medium, especially since in the whole thing Enforcer's talking about, there was no poaching involved? Getting harassed by a half-dozen armed agents off nothing more than hearsay involving a family member just reeks of power being arbitrarily thrown around to intimidate people into being good little complying sheep. A "When Orwell Becomes Reality" sort of thing.

Heretic;1481491 wrote:Post #70? I mean, "harassed" was my word, but someone says they go for the intimidation and then mentioned 6 armed guys came to work to talk to him about a family member -- at least to me, that would be, if not harassing, at least over-the-top -- especially when you consider that, according to his post, it was all based off a hearsay claim from a neighbor who calls someone whenever she sees hunting going on.

A quote from the story, "The warden drafted an affidavit for the search warrant, complete with aerial photos in which he described getting himself into a position where he was able to see the fawn going in and out of the barn." I know some of you have hard ons for arguing with each other and completely taking the extreme stance one way or the other, but that IMO is a waste of public money.
