what happened to being able to ask for help when it is needed? I can say from a public safety standpoint that courtesy gets abused and then people who truly need help are forced to wait or not get that help cause we are tied up with system abusers or people that consider a sunburn a medical emergency. +1,000,000 and Amen Mark!

I work for Harris County so I know all to well about Public Safety but when someone is broke down do we just say we are not comeing no we send a Tow truck not just leave you sitting there we will report it and anybody close will show up not just we are not going to show unless you are hurt... I have has my fill of BS calls myself but if someone needs help we do our best to get it. Like I said I know they can't help everyone but if they are close and can help why not show that's all I am saying. And like I also said the got a tow so all is good.

I almost called the Dallas fire and rescue when I stuck a rattle trap hook in my forearm Friday...
Just kidding, I did stick a hook in my forearm though.

A friend of mine calls me to see if a guy I know on Sam Rayburn was at the lake house. Called him back and told him no one was picking up the phone so he calls the local GAME WARDEN on Sam Rayburn and tells them he was broke down spun prop no spare in boat. Anyway they ask if anyone is hurt or in danger they say no and they tell them they are not comeing unless they where hurt WTF... Are they not out there to keep everyone safe and to help people that need it they sure as hell don't mind driving five miles to check your boat. I know they can't help everyone but come on this was not good they where at Caney truck at the Dam long way finally got a tow.
Whats your point or the result you want from posting a "whinny post" about the GW? I have been in public saftey for over 20 years in a large and very busy dept and you are echoing what we hear day in and day out. Basically you call and DEMAND the service you think you "deserve". Sometimes you just have to deal with your personal issues by flaging down help or resolving your issues thru your own reasoning and problem solving abilities. READ the Bill Of Rights again, nowhere does it say you have the "right to a free tow".

No one was looking for a free tow they found one if you would care to read before you post so I guess problem solved.

I guess that is the world we live in today. Would be nice if someone truly needs help one could ask for it without getting blasted. I don't work in your field so I'm not aware of the abuse. If I'm truly out of options I would ask for help from one of the public safety groups.

So let me ask you guys this is it better for the GW to ride around and write tickets or would you like to see them helping people and not bother you while you are fishing.

Wardens are there for a reason. Just like the Police. I have never had a problem with game wardens and yes I have been checked several times with no problems. If you are not a jerk to them, they will do there job and move on.

i would like to see the GW enforcing the game laws. there are other people i call when i need a tow.
i don't call the GW when my truck breaks down and needs towed...i don't expect him to tow a boat.
the most i would look for is if he knows the number of someone to tow me

Steelers your right would be nice to ask but I guess on here there are alot of guys that break out the man card but when the time comes and they need help trust me they will call they always do seen it a bunch of times.

Game is the key word. Warden is the regulation/enforcement part.
Was there a game issue involved?
Do you have tow in boat insurance?
Think of it as a union worker. He has a specific job to do.

As was posted there might be times when they will not be able to offer assistance though.
