Even the fit wardens out here stay within sight of the truck, i am drinking buddies with one and asked him about it, his words: chasing a guy armed with a rifle, who is likely good at concealing himself in the woods, shooting, and probably knows the terrain better than you is how wardens get shot, and our vests dont stop 30-06, so fuck that shit.  So unless you get the drop on literally every hunter (folks who hide in the woods and shoot at things that are sneaking around and alert) AND have your gun on them from the start for no reason (another great way to get shot at) you  aint running them down on foot unless you have a deathwish.  99% of poachers who get caught are fat retards seen shooting from inside their vehicle, usually out of season and often trespassing on private property.
