Lonegun,
I tend to agree with you but you might want to remember that a GW has a very hard job and in most cases he is a single officer against several people that are armed and possibly drunk and or doing something illegal. I use to hunt Type 2 properties and within those areas the GW is the law. If driving on the property then you could be in violation of the law for carrying a rifle or even a clip on a Bow hunting only area. Even if the rifle is not in the car he could have felt that you might have it somewhere hidden in the grass outside of the truck.

I use to hunt every buck season and have met several GW’s in the course some have been really nice and sat down talked a while.. And others have been very aggressive and acted scared like I was going to hurt them. I suspect that maybe he was nervous or felt uncomfortable in the situation, unsure

I agree with some of the other responding you need to verify what the laws are.. Currently some of all or the Type 2 properties in Texas have a sign in stations. This would be a good place to get information about what you can and can not carry on the property. Public hunting land has different laws and the GW is out numbered and in most cases out guned.
