this wasn't meant to be a scary political page. It was meant to be a heads up. I think everyone here is pretty law abiding.

Probable cause for DFG to search your boat/vehicle is having fishing gear onboard.
That is what I have been told.
Too many people poach, take undersized, out of season or illegal fish and game too often. I follow the rules and am polite with Wardens and never have issues.
I don't really want to get into the rest of it.

As I recall they did this last year too. Education and easy pickings of unsuspecting unlawful types.
I was exiting Coyote Ridge above Bishop some time ago and was stopped at a checkpoint on the trail. They asked how the hunting was. Told them I wasn't a hunter. They then told me that they saw me shooting on the ridge through their binoculars. I said they were mistaken. They asked to look under the tarp on the truck (used to keep the dust off of stuff) and found neither game or guns... A pain and waste of time, but I guess necessary to protect he resources. The binocular scam/scare was I guess a chance to come clean if it was true?
