"RSB", that was a really good explanation of why Game wardens stop and check our licenses. The problem is, I DON'T BUY IT!
I can't tell you how many times I've been stopped with my 2 sons (when they were very young) and have been checked. NEVER ONCE have we been cited for any infraction.
When I ask (and I always ask) why were we stopped and checked and why they were interfering (for no just cause)with our huntI have ALWAYS been told that "It's my job", or "It's my duty to check you."
NEVER has a Game Warden said that he had been alerted of some offense being committed in the immediate area we were in.
Because maybe he's doing an investigation and hasn't determined if your part of it yet. Having 2 kids with you doesn'tmake you automatically innocent.
In 30 years of hunting I've only encountered one GW, and he was polite. And I have no problem letting them check my license if it means that'll help catch somebody illegal. Everybody moans about the poachers, but nobody wants to let them do their job.
Every year they hold SGL tours on, I think, SGL's 110, 105, or 106though I've never been to one. Usually in September I think.
