Sure, I' ve seen them in NY waiting for people to come out at night. Sometimes they' re obvious... while other times they jump out of the bushes to see if you unloaded your gun before you step into the road right of way. Not often, but a few times. They check tags, licenses, guns etc. Forest Rangers do it to. We had one stop this spring at our campsite and check our fire pit, crapper hole, camping permits and licenses. Over the years we had a couple jerks... well really one jerk.. but for the most part they' re just doing their job. In Maryland I' ve seen them in the woods but always the results of a reported poacher. I' ve also seen them walk over to someone visible in the woods and write him a ticket for not wearing orange in Maryland. Personnally I wouldn' t want them messing up my hunt by coming back into the woods looking for people. They' re road dwellers for the most part.
