DNR Law Enforcement Report (2-4-13)

GA Wildlife

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 […]

Gopher Tortoise Nappers Nabbed by DNR

GA Wildlife

The Law Enforcement Section of Georgia’s DNR Wildlife Resources Division had another busy week around Lake Allatoona.  An interesting one too. 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 […]

Youth Birding Competition

Youth Birding Competition

Birders don’t get enough respect. People who wouldn’t know a Chuck-will’s-widow from a whip-poor-will think birding is for bird brains. Now, maybe putting neon lights under your car or mastering a video game is more to your liking.  That’s cool.  Knock yourself out.  But, in my humble opinion, putting your resources and time into that stuff […]

Underwater woody debris — such as […]

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 […]
