Abstract:

"From patrolling remote trout streams in the mountains to rough coastal waters, wildlife officers go off the beaten path to enforce laws and regulations." The Wildlife Commission prepares officers for these "backcountry" patrols. Survival skills are of key importance and the Commission prepares officers for such with 30 weeks of basic training and proficiency tests throughout their careers. Wildlife Officer Nathniel Rowlan describes his experiences along Big Snowbird Creek during a recent foot patrol.
