Several times I have observed that questions asked of conservation officers have different opinions of legal or illegal in a given area of the state. Usually the officer will refer your question to an officer in your local area.
Are the wildlife laws so vague that the COs can not enforce the law uniformly throughout the state.
In general Is not what is legal in south Indiana legal in north Indiana?
It would seem that each district has its own interpretation of the game laws.
Not trying to be argumentative ,but this has become a problem for many hunters who hunt in different areas of the state.
Thanks

Your questions here really should be extended to the prosecutors in each county. They ARE the top law enforcement officer in each county. The laws are writtend in black and white. Its not the CO's who interpret them, its the prosecutors. So basically it boils down to what the PROSECUTOR says, not the CO. The variation comes from them, not the Co's.........we just enforce it the way that the prosecutor says. Hunting from a roadway in one part of the state may end up with ones charges not being filed. Hunting from a roadway in another part of the state may land you in jail for 60 days for doing the exact same thing! Its the world we live in....................welcome to America!
