Abstract:

Wildlife law enforcement officers do more than just check hunting and fishing licenses. Many do undercover work to trap violators of game laws, cover a regular beat, speak at schools about good hunting and fishing principles, pick up road-killed deer, clean up after fish kills, and write monthly reports. It can be a dangerous job. In the past ten years, 33 officers have been assaulted in the line of duty, and three have been killed.
