Wes,

You must have me confused with someone else: "...how everyone should just say NO to being searched, well it appears that you can’t just say NO."

Yeah, last time I checked, I'm telling everyone to just say "NO". I am telling them not to be afraid to use that right is all.

Again, if reread, one of my posts clearly states that they receive the proper respect each and every time I see them by getting Yes Sir'd and No Sir'd, etc. And most of the people who have ever met me, know that I do not take respect lightly. How many times did you get "sir'd" Doug?

The last line on one of my posts says " a conscious effort needs to be made on both sides."

Like Andy said, be right there to move rods, etc. out of the way if need be. If you don't want something to be found either leave it at home or just hide it someplace that you wouldn't hide a fish or your immediate tackle..lol

Many game officers make drug busts (mostly pot growers)back in my neck of the woods, so yes, you can get popped....and yes they can even administer speeding tickets and direct traffic. One of the two county game officers back home hunts on our farm. Yes, the laws differ state to state, but the authority is basically the same.

I am not debating anything other than I do not see why "we" have to conform to anything. That's why this country's moral value has dwindled: too much conformity.
