If what chappy says is true about the number of full time game wardens (and I have no reason to believe that he is not correct), why could any fishermen expect to see a game warden when the average licensed fishermen only fishes the majority of time during the weekends?

Think about that for just a few moments! Do you really think that YOU are going to see one of those wardens on the 1 or 2 days that you are out fishing at your most favorite "secret" fishing spot that you never tell anyone else about? Like I said earlier, they are there in most commonly fished-poached areas where most of the poaching occurs, and they are watching you but you just know it! Many of the same game wardens are working at night trying to catch the real poachers and you are not going to ever see them unless you are one of those poachers! Why does everyone always think that all these illegal activities are occurring during the day light hours.

It's really no different then any other crime; most are done at night time under the cover of darkness!
