If they have reason to suspect you of violating game laws then they do not need a warrant to enter your property..
I could be wrong about this but it was what I was told as a young man.
On a couple of occasions I have had them show up on private property when I know the owner gave no permission and check my license and search the vehicle with no warrant.
Not sure about a home but I have seen them go through a cabin pretty closely with no warrant or permission.
If your local sheriff gets arrested. A TWRA warden is the one that does that. As for them coming into your home to search, You can bet if they walk up to your door. That door will open and the house be searched. But then again if there at your door, they have you doing something that you should not be doing. As in over the limit be it fishing or hunting. And they will have a piece of paper in there hands.
A cousin of mine had shot more deer then he should have. Warden had his dead to right, he was bragging they would not search is house. 2 hours later they show up and did search is. Finding parts to 5 different deer when we were not allowed those deer. I for one was happy they busted his butt.
