Same thing happened to me several times, and if someone politely points out what the law is, why the attitude?? Are the academies teaching that you can never be mistaken?? I watched a state cop pull into the state forest parking lot and tell an out of state avid bowhunter that he couldn't hunt there...Why..because of noise complaints from surrounding homeowners!! This was after the licensed hunter holding his compound bow informed the "officer" that he was bowhunting. Honest!!! When I politely tried to point out that this Fairfield county state forest was probably one of the most heavily hunted areas on the planet earth(not using that venacular), I was told to sit there and be quiet, which I did. Luckily one of my hunting partners is an enconn officer and I had to give him an earful which I believe he passed on. Never saw that SPO again and don't miss him.
