Two bows, two people, one hunter

So I had an unusual run in with a game warden in CO last year. I was in Idaho hunting then met up with a buddy in Colorado to help him with his hunt. I was the caller and he was the hunter, but I did have my bow in the back of my truck. We were hunting out of our truck and walking in a few miles every morning and night. My bow stayed in its case and my buddy packed his in his case every night we came back. We came back one night and were getting some meals ready to only be approached by a game warden. He came and asked for both of our license, I explained to him that I had been hunting in Idaho earlier and don?t have a Colorado tag, only my buddy did. He continued to drill me and ask why I had my bow in the back of my truck (it was in its case) and assumed that I had been hunting in Colorado. We went back and forth for awhile and he ended up having me put it in the cab of my truck. He explained to me that it?s a judgement call on their part. I?m happy that we came to an agreement but has anyone else had this happen? I mean there have been multiple times where I?ve brought two bows on my trips with two people and one person with a tag (the backup bow always stays in its case).. Sometimes I bring two just Incase something happens to my bow. I?ve tried to look more into this but can?t find much on it. Just want to see if anyone else had something similar to this
