Point taken.

The only way I know to differentiate is to ask: "Am I free to leave?"
TX law requires you to ID yourself if you're asked while detained.

I've never been stopped by a game warden for a tag check. Do they usually ask for ID in addition to the hunting license?

I'm under the impression - and correct me if I'm wrong - that game wardens can stop people who are "hunting" (carrying a firearm) at will w/o cause.
Same kind of thing as when I'm operating a boat. I can be stopped at any time w/o cause for a safety inspection.
