California Court of Appeal August 3, 1984, Civ. 52520 (Betchart v. Department of Fish & Game)

Opinion

LOW, P. J.

The state has the duty to preserve and protect wildlife. California State Department of Fish and Game (Fish and Game) agents may without warrants reasonably enter and patrol private open lands where game is present and hunting occurs to enforce Fish and Game laws. We affirm the declaratory relief judgment.

Plaintiff Joseph C.
