Question: What type of identification am I required to carry when hunting and/or fishing? Is just my current license and tags all I need to carry or am I required to carry another form of ID?

Answer: Unless you are a commercial fisherman, you are not required to carry photo identification when hunting or fishing, but it is always a good idea. Carrying photo identification will allow a game warden to positively confirm your identification and that you are the licensed holder of the fishing/hunting license you are carrying. For California residents, its best to carry a California driver license or DMV identification card.
