Looking for some input on a question that I buddy of mine had tonight. So this thread fits, I was open carrying while we were at the boat ramp :lol:
Here is the question - Can a Virginia Marine Resources Commision Marine Patrol Officer demand that you show him the contents of your fish boxes after having pulled your boat out of the water upon completion of a fishing trip. For discussion purposes, the officer has not even seen you catch a fish from his vantage point.
Scenario two is the same except your boat is still in the water. He has not even seen you catch a fish from his vantage point.
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to the question but would love to have one of the legal gurus around here summarize for me After a few responses, I'll post what a Game Warden told my buddy on the phone tonight....it'll make your ears turn red:what:
Thanks in advance for any responses.
