Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted 13 hours ago Out in the hills hunting, right unit for the tag I have and I encounter G&F unit officer! He asks for my hunting license and tag information! I produce all documents! Everything is good! Does the officer have the authority to request a search of my backpack? Remember, hypothetical! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are deer hunting but he sees the turkey feet sticking out of you back pack yes he will request a search. 😅 Kind of. With probable cause he can legally do a search. Without probable cause he can still request a search but it can be denied. Like you said if your deer hunting and he sees turkey feet sticking out of your backpack that's definitely probable cause to look in your backpack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
