In the example given, I think the warden was actually hunting on the person's property. Last I checked, hunting isn't really part of a conservation officer's duties. This is what I was replying to in Skeeter's post:

We even had a local game warden and his sons shooting geese on a farmers posted land and when told leave, said I am warden and can do what I want so the landowner got his shotgun out and blasted in the air..He was arrested for doing that...

What you wrote, I believe is correct in all 50 states. Any law enforcement officer can enter a person's land without needing permission if they are discharging their law enforcement duties, the exception being a person's house which requires a search warrant. However, hunting on a person's land is a completely different matter.
