Is it legal to hunt with only a temporary ID some a**hole stole my wallet

Gee Whiz. My apologies, sir.
I've been so wrapped up in current issues, I failed to see your post.
As for the law, the law says you must carry an ID at all times. A temporary ID is that.
Unfortunately, it would be a judgment call by the officer that confronts you, if any.
Best case scenario would be to not only have your tag and temp. ID, but also some proof of residence-an electric bill, gas bill, or, of course, a voter registration card.
I asked my neighbor two doors down, Grant, who is a DOW field officer, and that's what his opinion is, so it's probably pretty accurate.

Where does the law state that you must have an ID? I can't find it anywhere. I don't trust the field officers to know the law. See the post about the magazine limit. Hell, I remember asking at the HQ about using NFA hunting stuff and they could not answer my questions without quite a delay.

I'm not a lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night....

It is my understanding that a STATE ISSUED temporary ID, whether it be a Driver's License, or just a State ID card, carries the same weight as a "permanent" state issued form of identification - and it must be honored by law enforcement as such (state level on down - does not apply to the Feds). We honored them on my base (AF) when I played cop - BUT we also required another form of photo identification.

With this said, a valid photo ID of some sort is always a good thing to have on your person. While it may not necessarily be "required", it could sure save a lot of time and questions to verify your identity, should a situation come to that.
