Astute Rangers from the Wildlife Resource Division of the Department of Natural Resources smelled something fishy while out on patrol. Soon, poachers were caught and reeled in to face the law. The latest Law Enforcement Report reveals this illegal activity: Confiscation of gill nets and approximately 150 pounds of illegally taken game fish – Greene […]
I have no idea which parts of alligators are illegal to possess, and I do not want to know. Do you? We have Rangers from the Wildlife Resource Division of the Department of Natural Resources to do that stuff for us. Good thing. The latest Law Enforcement Report proves that Rangers are enforcing the law: Illegal […]
DNR Rangers may not use that “always get their man” slogan, but they not only nab lawbreakers, they get their fish and ducks too. Our Rangers protect our natural resources and those of us who enjoy them, but the job is more than looking svelte in their extraordinarily cool hats. The latest Law Enforcement Report proves that Rangers are enforcing […]
Most of us could use a little more wildlife, if you catch my drift. Sometimes, when life gets a little too wild, the Wildlife Resources Division of Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources has to step in and calm things down. The DNR keeps track of such interventions and it’s good reading. This week’s report includes: Hunting […]
If it weren’t for the DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division there would be a lot more “wild life” in Georgia. DNR Rangers are the ones who nab perps (“bad boys” for those who don’t watch reality TV shows) for shooting wildlife from the comfort of their pickup trucks on public roads, and other beer-induced activities.

How many of us can say we apprehended a gopher tortoise poacher, as our faithful Rangers did recently? It’s a rough job, but somebody has to do it. Rangers protect our natural resources and all […]
Our friends at the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are pretty dang smart. When bad apples, poachers and other desperadoes get a bit too wild, the DNR sends Rangers from their Wildlife Resources Division to calm them down. The headlines from this week’s report on life that got too wild include: Possession of a firearm […]
Americans have the right to bear arms. Smart Americans who exercise this right learn how to handle, transport, fire, clean and store their firearms. Now, there’s an added benefit for those who get hunter education training from Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources. Hunter education graduates can“give it a shot” with a free three-month pass to […]

According to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NCIC), the FBI ran 2.8 million background checks for gun purchases nationwide in December 2012 – a new record.
