RE: Does this usually happen?
I have never been checked WHILE hunting. I have had wardens waiting at a parking lot at closing light before and checkin people's stuff when they get back to their vehicles. I think everyone's right with the wardens only going into the woods when they have tips. I have only seen a warden in the woods once, and that was a couple years ago shortly after I heard a shot way before shooting light, so i assume he was searching for the person who shot.
