Wardens out on snowmobile this weekend.

Had the wardens visit me this weekend while I was fishing bluegill on a little lake off the beaten path.  I am always legal so it was no big deal.  I found it totally amusing that I was getting checked on a little dink lake while fishing for bluegills in March.  It is nice to know they can pop up at anytime just to keep people honest.

See my warden story in the WI fishhouse removal thread. He was checking out shacks, but stopped for a chat. Didn't even ask to see my license. First time I ever met a warden and I'm well over 50.

For some reason we don't seem to see the DNR much in WI which I think is sad. I myself wished they would come around more; especially around deer hunting. I've always wanted to be a warden myself but I make more money now so I don't see the point in leaving my current job. Also it don't seem like it they have very good job security. IMO

I don't get checked very often by the wardens either. Maybe once a year between hunting and fishing but some years I've been checked 3 or 4 times. I recognize some of the local wardens and see them in plain clothes often just observing people. Even if we don't get checked a lot don't mean they aren't out there being sneaky looking for violations.
