It's not getting any easier to be a game warden in Montana. In fact, it's 
only getting more complicated as violators figure out new ways to abuse the 
state's game laws and go to greater excesses in stacking up illegal game. 
"The diversity of our resources and the things that go on make it difficult, 
from up to 60 pheasants over the limit to a grandma illegally killing a 
moose," said Jim Kropp, chief of law enforcement for Montana Fish, Wildlife and 
Parks. 
"The trend has changed for wardens over the past decade. The depth and length 
of some of these investigations consumes a lot of time." he said. "There is 
just a lot of poaching that goes on under the blanket of legitimate hunting - 
and it's both residents and nonresidents."
