"Danial" may not be politically correct, but he does have a point. There's no need to stop a hunter simply to check his license. Unless the hunter isdoing something to cause suspicion I consider it interfering with my hunt, and I make that known to the Game Warden. As far as a mere encounter, I don't believe I have to submit to any search.

I was hunting in Maine 2 years ago and encountered a Maine Game Wardenand his deputy. The first thing he said to our party was that he recommended we try an area not far from where we were as they had seen a bunch of Woodcock and he proceded to give us directions. We asked if he was going to check our licenses and he said "if you want me to."
Big difference between Maine and Pennsylvania. I have NEVER had a Game Warden say to me and my sons "Go over here or there as there are more birds there" The first words out of their mouth is "Can I see your license?"
