In MN I've been checked about once a year while fishing. Only once while Upland hunting. A few times Duck hunting in ND.
For the most part they've been pretty casual interactions. Except for the Federal Agent in ND. He waited until we were done duck hunting, but kept us there for well over...
I didn't grow up hunting
I have no hunting mentor
I have no hunting partners
I have no private land
Just me and my two dogs.
I don't look at my dogs as children I am cheering on. We are very much a team. Trying to figure something out every time we get out. Adding to our Rolodex of public...

I have had someone insinuate that they would like to borrow my dogs, but not directly ask.
Ummm, no.
The right way to ask for someone's dogs is to invite the owner to come along on the hunt!
There are a couple of friends that I would trust but they would never ask. And I would never ask them.
