I've only had a couple experiences with GWs in Alabama and they were all pretty good. They would make a stop by our camp in Macon county about once a year. Pretty much checked the license, made sure everyone had their orange on, and asked about the gun (never even checked it - I don't know if it would have really mattered if it was loaded or not since we were at the camp and not on a state or county maintained road) - not overly friendly, but considerate.

I'm not aware of them ever writing a ticket at or on our club. They did smack several of our members for hunting over a baited field during dove season (field was not on our property, but a member's piece of land - up the road a mile or so - and yes it was baited by the land owner, unfortunately most didn't know they were hunting a baited field).

A good friend of mine was a GW in Montgomery and then Coosa county - he and I talked a lot about fines and stuff like that. His thoughts were - if you broke the law - you were getting a ticket, no ifs ands or butts.
