On the license checking issue it's just a small thing but small things are remembered when an officer is acting under color of law. I'm always legal when hunting so getting checked is nothing.
I'm my case it was outside the scope of the officers duty to ask to see a hunting license.
What if I was on my back forty mending fence and a trooper stopped by and I said I planned to drive home later? Do I need to show my drivers license?

I know it sounds frivolous but I am always sensitive to government intrusion into areas where it has no business.
