I asked this on a thread about agents having the right to inspect freezers, but it may have gotten lost in the replies. A link to an Attorney General's opinion indicated it was only necessary to carry your hunting permit on you, but I had received information that was different than that.

When I am hunting/fishing, am I required to carry a photo ID, such as a driver's license, to verify who I am in addition to my hunting/fishing permits?
