[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5214625, member: 1409"] Personally, I've had good experiences with [I]MOST[/I] LEO's and TWRA Wildlife Officers, as [I]MOST[/I] are just very reasonable people trying to do their jobs. In fact, just this past weekend, I had a TWRA county officer go above and beyond to help me [I]NOT[/I] get a ticket for a [U]potential[/U] wildlife regulatory infraction. I didn't break any laws, but was trying to be sure I didn't, by clearly [U]understanding the rules [I]BEFORE[/I] being in a compromising circumstance[/U], such as, what if I shoot a deer and it crosses the property line over which I don't have permission (quota hunt)? Give you an example: You get drawn for a quota gun hunt on a WMA, but you choose to hunt close the property line, where the WMA adjoins "private" property, on which deer season is not "open", and, you do not have permission to trespass. Considering the possibilities of what "can" happen, it's often wise to not hunt right on a property line unless you know in advance you can legally retrieve a deer from the other side. [/QUOTE]
