Is there any law or requirement to announce your whereabouts in the woods when you see game wardens on your property while hunting?

Well they never saw me in the first place, so hiding is not an issue. Just wondering for safety reasons etc.....

I wouldnt think you were any more obligated to the officer than he is to you

no...but if you do you may be able to get him to leave so you can get back at the task at hand sooner..and not run everything your hunting to the next property...after all you weren't doing anything wrong..right

It could be a good opportunity to meet him and begin a friendly relationship.

Thanks for the info, and no I wasnt doing anything illegal. I just happened to see a game warden near where I was hunting and he never saw me. Highly doubt this will ever happen again.

Only the law of common sense, if you see the Ranger, let them know where you are, get it over with and get back to hunting otherwise they will stay until they are satisfied that there are no violations taking place. And yes they do have the right to be there in the performance of their duty.
