I am an out of state hunter that hunts land I own with other family members. Got a visit from the Game Warden (local guy plus his supervisor). I told them I didn't have my wallet on me, that it was in my truck so they asked if I owned the land or leased (I could have been a guest or a poacher, but they didn't give me those as an option). I told them I owned and they said I didn't need a license. I explained that I live out of state and not on the property and they both said "doesn't matter, if you own the property you don't need a license so we don't need to see it" and they were adament about it.
Kind of a wierd deal as they never checked my ID or for proof of ownership, but that is beside the point. Regulations say if you are an out of state resident you must have a valid non-resident license. Do these guys know something I don't?
Nope. They're wrong, you're right. Out-of-staters need a license regardless of ownership.
