Conservation Officer needs no search warrant (?)

Both times I was asked for my written permission to be on both properties, when I was getting into my truck the CO pulled up behind me as the property owner was just leaving and we had been talking, but he still asked if I had permission in writing to be there.
The second time when the CO ask if I had permission, I said "I sure hope so, I slept on their couch last night" , neither time did the CO ask about the weapon I was using, both firearms, and only one time did they ask to see my hunting license.

Yep
Speaking as someone who is part of a family with quite a lot of farmland suitable for hunting on, I like the idea of a CO preventing people (it's happened before) from sneaking onto our property.

I would bet that COs get a LOT of tresspassing and illegal hunting/fishing calls....
