[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2305296, member: 5412"] Yes, they have federal authority. They can enforce the Lacy act. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacey_Act_of_1900[/url] I know our local GW got a request for a lifetime license from a guy in KS that used an empty lot in Ok. as an address. Once he sent in his money, the GW went to KS and arrested him for mail fraud. I'm not sure if all of them have this authority, But this one does. Back in the day, GW's used the "animals are the property of the state", so when they heard a shot, they could enter private property to protect the states property. I'm pretty sure that's not the case now. I don't know if its true or not, but the story is that some guy hit a deer on the road, and since it was the "property of the state", he thought the state should pay for his truck. Anyway, the wording is not that way anymore. [/QUOTE]
