Must Hunters and Anglers Carry CDL With License?

Question: While hunting or fishing, besides carrying the appropriate license(s), do I also need to carry my state driver’s license? I would prefer to leave it in my vehicle, but I also want to be sure I am in compliance with the law if I run into a game warden in the field. So my question is do I need to carry photo I.D. with my license? (Anthony B.)

Answer: You will need to verify that you are the person holding your own fishing or hunting license. Though photo identification is not mandated by law, being able to identify yourself properly is. If you cannot appropriately identify who you are, you may see yourself in an extended contact with the wildlife officer. If you’re getting cited for something, the wildlife officer may have to take you to jail until you can be properly identified. The bottom line is even though the law doesn’t state you must have photo identification in possession, it would benefit you greatly to carry photo identification, so you may properly identify who you are to the wildlife officer.

I don't carry my drivers license when kayaking, and the DFW guys have never asked for it. Anybody ever been asked to produce a CDL when fishing?

I've had wardens find me while hunting private property with my truck parked on the shoulder of the road. All he cared about were my license, tags, and entry permit.

dental records.  or RFLP   

the latest thing Ive had happen is you hand them your FL and they then ask you your birthdate to verify, last two contacts this is what they did.

Come to think of it, that's what happened to me the last time too. Now if I can just remember my birthdate...

Once down in Big Sur a warden hiked down and checked us. He had a different question for each of us, birthday, address on the license, last name spelling. Seemed effective enough. he was a really nice guy, for a warden.

I seem to remember from a training session that courts have held verbal identification to a peace officer to be sufficient if you are not driving.
