I have willfully given false information to a GW and it was helpful. I went to the ranch opening weekend of rifle season several years back to finish up some cedar siding etc. inside the ranch house and he was waiting for me at the gate Saturday am as I was running into town. He asked me for my hunting license (that was in the ranch house). I told him I have not been hunting and he said, "Sir, I know you have been hunting." I again stated, "Sir, I did not hunt this am." He again stated, "I know for a fact that you were hunting." Finally, I said, follow me to the house. He jumped in his truck and followed me back to the house. Sawdust, cedar and Coors Light cans met him. I showed him my license and he checked everything out. He stated I should have my license on me at all times (even when going into town) and again stated he knew I was hunting. I finally said something along the lines of, "I absolutely did not hunt this am, but the feed store closes in 18 minutes and if it speeds this up, I will affirm that I hunted this morning. I have guns and bows in the cabin and looked out the window at the feeder at deer and turkey." He then muttered something and left.
However, generally being deceptive is a bad idea. :-)
