They have the ability to do so (here in Mich) but they rarely do because folks up here are ornary about folks tresspassing, and a human walking around with a gun on his hip wearing cammies (when we know there ain't supposed to be no 2 legs) is likely to be shot and killed before he gets a chance to say "wait, DNR, don't SHOOT!"
I will give it to the game warrant, thery have a risky job, more than police. Just about every person they check, is armed. So many don't know the right they have, and may shoot them for tresspassing. Game warrant may be right , but dead right. Here most of the time, they will waiting by the road ,at your car or truck.
Myself I have permit to raise wildlife, and know the game laws here. Yes they can come on my land anytime and check my pens.
A very dangerous job indeed. They also can take your guns from you if they deem you are breaking the law. I have known several Game Wardens and I have seen the tools they use to catch poachers. The animatronic deer on the road side is the one that gets em every time! Game Wardens and Texas Rangers are the high end of law enforcement here and they have the power to do what all other law enforcement can and a little more. You are right though, they usually stay at the road because they dont want to wander off into unknown territory and get shot at.
