I've been checked several times in Texas and in Arkansas. Some wardens were pleasant and some were down to business, but I've never had a bad experience. The GW in the county where I deer hunt has a tough reputation, but I've seen him several times and I've got no complaints. He stopped me once to make sure that I wasn't a trespasser on my father-in-law's land. I introduced myself and showed him my ID and told him thanks for checking because we lose a lot of deer to trespassers.
