We had to show our license for the first time in years back in june. We were fishing right by the road.

The few times I've been checked they were in their vehicle and wanted us to "hold up" our license. Well I decided to let them get out of their warm durango and walk their a## over to me and check them phisically.For some reason they had a problem with that.

I've been checked twice in the past three years, each time at the Summersville tailwaters.  I think it was by the same CO.  She's always nice and I end up shooting the bull for a while.

i have my lifetime license..........i spend alotta time on streams in the southern, eastern, centra,l and western parts of the state, and a little bit of time hunting, but my hunting grounds are so secluded i would never expect to see another person especially law enforcement. but i've never been checked and i've never even seen the dnr while i was out fishing or hunting???

I've hunted, fished and occasionally trapped for 35 years and had never been asked to show a license until 2 years ago, when a friend and I were approached by CO's while fishing @ Smokehole C&R.

I have been checked a few times not many.. Most times it was on the Elk. Nice enough guys no trouble at all. The local CO I know fairly well. He was on the ridge couple years ago . I was walking toward our farm he seen me stopped to BS. I asked if he wanted to see mine he said no I know you own it up here. I told him I buy them anyhow and pulled them out  LOL.. Seems a lot of the COs have changed over the years. Most are friendly that I run into anymore and easy to talk with. Im sure still a few hard cases but seems to be getting better.

I've only been check twice.  Both times it was on well known streams, where you would expect more conservation officers to be.  I don't mind being checked at all.  I buy my license every year and would gladly show it every time I go out, especially if it meant that our streams and lakes were monitored more often for those not following the law.
