I met a couple of the Federales a few years back when we were on a goose shoot. They were driving around watching people with binos and checking up after the hunts. They didn't interfere and were pleasant and professional. I had his card but don't know what ever happened to it.
I've only had one bad experience with a conservation officer. My buddy and I were cutting up my deer many years ago. I saved the hinds to take in for jerky. Well, they were still connected by the pelvis, and when the CO did a check at the butcher, he made a huge deal out of it and gave me a written warning because they weren't tagged. I thought that was pretty dickish. Could have been worse though, I guess.
