I asked this very same question in an e-mail to the DCNR years ago, their reply was that if she accompanies you on a hunt she is basically hunting and should have a license. This includes WMA and National Forest. I told the DCNR that she would not be carrying a weapon, they told me that it did not matter. If she points out a deer to you that you don't see then she is assisting in your hunting efforts. I do know that at Oakmulgee we were stopped by two GW and both of us were asked to produce a license, we both had one and we went on our merry way. IF in doubt go to the DCNr website and e-mail them, they usually respond with 24 hours. Take this for it is worth.
That is what I was told too. But I don't see how it could hold up if she don't touch the weapon.
Reminds me of this joke:
A couple goes on vacation to a fishing resort in Northern Minnesota. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn, the wife likes to read. One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out and get some sun. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book. Along comes a game warden in his boat.
He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies. (thinking, isn't it obvious.)
"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading"
"Yes but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you can start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am, " and he left..........
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads, its likely she can also think.
