Does this usually happen?
I have never in my life been checked for a hunting license/deer tag. Last year, on opening morning of gun season in Carter County, MO, one of my friends was on his stand. About two hours intohis very first session of the year, a Wildlife Management Officer walked up to my friends tree stand and asked to see his tag.
Keep in mind that this isn't a place that you can see from the road. This is semi-remote public land.
I know they can do what they want, but this just seems wrong. I was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else.
