I've always had the attitude that their job is not one of public relations per se, but of intimidation to those that choose to not play by the rules. All they do is deal with this subject, everyday, all day. If they are a little grumpy and march right up to my duck blind (had that happen numerous times), hop in my boat (this to), or meet me at a launch (ditto) and want to unload my entire vehicle to check - MORE POWER TO THEM. I for one have nothing to hide and wish and hope they do this to as many people as possible. Thats the only way the message will get out there clearly, that if your going to cheat, you very well may get caught.

I would love to see more enforcement out there so the resource is protected, period.

My experiece has always been they are slightly more difficult to deal with then you are being. They have to maintain the upper hand for their own safety. If that means they are a little aggressive, you might want to look at the situation or how you are coming off. I couldn't begin to count how many times I've been checked and I can honestly say I feel they have always been reasonable and fair to deal with.
