nat geo started a show tonight called wild justice. this one idiot is cutting feet and hide off dead bears making fake tracks and scent drags to screw up hunters i guess. i have no idea how he thinks that would help catch a poacher, because bear season was open when he was doing this. someone should take cali fish and game to court for harassment.

I had a hard time watching that guy. I couldn't believe it. Some of the show wasn't to bad but I am damn glad I don't have to be around that wacko.

His name is Brian Boyd. He is a California DFG. His brother runs hounds. Brian is an idiot. I'm not sure what he is trying to accomplish either. I hope he gets a pack of hounds turned on him while hes out in the woods coverd in bear scent wearing bear paws. Would be funny to see what would happen.
The group of hunters that they show as "suspected poachers" are my friends. The kids they have along are their kids. They took a non-houndsman out to get a bear. Took the bear. On the way back to the truck they were stopped. No one had checked to make sure the guy filled out his tag correctly. He had failed to fill out some of the info so got a ticket. These guys are NOT poachers and do NOT sell gall bladders. Fish and Game and National Geographic sure did their best to portray them as such.

Just came to post somehing on this. I couldn't believe how they kept harassing the hound hunters, even though everything was legal. Those guys are way too full of themselves.

watched the whole show just goes to show how our tax dollars and tag money is spent you can get busted for having a good time with your girl or for littering , i would love to meet the guy that didnt see the vibrum track along side frley's bear track . guess someone should also tell them these dogs are broke off wardens , just couldn't believe the stupidity , but there are people who will believe all of this , going to start painting nort on all the trees in the woods that seems to stop them

I thought he said he was just outside a legal hunting area when he was laying scent and tracks to catch someone turning out illegally. I figured someone on here would know the guys on the show. I have one question though, why would they let that nut bag search their trucks? I would have told him to take a hike. I can't believe that guy can keep his job. Something Houndsmen and HSUS can come together on to get that guy fired.

The warden that caught the dopers and the love birds was funny though. Did you see the hair on that kid?

I couldn't believe those wardens. What a joke.

That same warden Brian Boyd dresses up in wigs and drives around in unmarked rigs. The area he is talking about "being not legal to run" is private property. The problem with his theory is most of us have permission from the owners up there to turn our dogs out or retrieve them from their property. Brian Boyd also has a problem with tresspassing on private property. When he hears hounds he goes to em even on private property. What we need to do is start recording and video taping him when hes doing his harrassement and illegal searches. Take him to Federal court for violating civil rights.

I am not defending him because it seems like he is a real fruitcake. But if you let him search your vehicle it is a legal search. They word things in ways that you would think you have to do it, but in reality you don't. I treat Wardens with respect as long as they do the same for me, but after watching that show if I ran into him in the woods I wouldn't cooperate as well. Tell him to direct his questions to your attorney and stay the hell out of your truck.

100 % agree with you George. My buddies didnt have anything to hide. I will not give Warden Boyd permission to search anything, will not talk to him other than to give him the info required by law. We have another fruit cake warden named Warden Little up here. Boyd is quickly gaining a rep like Little. Even th other wardens dont like him. I can tell you I will not hesitate to file a complain on either of the two.

All I know is when he told me to destroy that gallbladder I would have told him to kiss my ass. You can keep any part of your bear you want, period. We just pop them and leave them with the guts, but they can't tell you you can't keep something because they think your going to sell it....

I'd also like to see him meet a pack of hounds out there crawling around in the brush wearing bearhide. I know I have a few dogs that'd eat him up.

The warden told em that if they cut up the bladder he wouldnt confiscate the bear for not having the tag filled out correctly. They cut up the bladder to keep the bear.

I watched the show as well. Saw my old nemisis warden ceccon. It seems pretty obvious that the wardens are playing up to the camera and making excuses to make contacts in the field.

As for the bear hunting portion of the show, I got a good laugh from the warden wearing bear feet on his shoes . I do have a few comments however. Whenever we hunt we lose our search rights of our vehicles in california. They dont have to ask permission to search our trucks or boats if they contact a hunter or fisherman. Look it up. I dont agree with it, but its true. Wardens have more search rights than regular police officers.

The last thing I wanna say is dont save the damn gall bladders! Those useless bags of shit are half the reason wardens hassle the houndsman and bearhuntetr! The wardens already think that the houndsman kill bears to sell the gall bladders on the asian market. The gall bladders dont help your bum knee or make your wife wanna screw you. All they do is give the wardens a hard on when they find that you keep them.

Is the vehicle search an agreement when you sign for your hunting license? I would think if the State is making you waive your Constitutional Rights it would be made pretty clear to anyone obtaining a license. I can't believe people in California would go for that. The only way Wardens would have more search rights is if you give it to them. By entering into a contract when you sign for your license or something. Not trying to argue but we all have rights.

I can't believe anything they find during a search would be admissible in court if they didn't obtain a proper warrant or have your permission.

I am not slamming all Law Enforcement or anything because I believe that we do need them. I have dealt with some good ones and some real jerks just like any other group of people.

I couldn't believe it when he tied those bear feet on. UNBELIEVABLE!!

The basic premise in regards to a wardens search right is if your hunting, fishing or whatever he can search your boat or vehicle for hunting or fishing related contraband or game. Example, They have the right to look in your cooler in your boat to see if you have too many fish or in your truck toolbox or back seat to see if you are hiding any ducks past your limit. Here in the california condor zone they can search your backpack or anything else to see if your possesing any lead ammo. I completely disagree with this but this is what it is.
