I forgot to add that under Wisconsin law a game warden is considered a law enforcement officer and has the same arrest authority as any policeman or deputy sheriff. In fact they have more authority because they can enter your home without a search warrant and trespass on your property without permission.

I am not liking the State of "Whiskeyonsin" at all. Someone must have drank too much whiskey when they decided to give a game warden that much power!! I am glad to be living in Virginia via Chicago, Illinois (Lammie, I feel your pain and frustration with your state's gun laws).

I have to throw a penalty flag on the play here, a game warden is an agent of the state and therefor subject to the 4th and 5th amendment.
