Default Federal Fish and Wildlife Officers

Had a couple of boys stop by on our goose hunt today which (by the way was awesome had over 2000 birds come in and by our spread). They waited until we were done shooting before checking in on us both very polite and started the conversation with a hand shake and hello. Asked how the hunt went even though we all knew they were watching us checked our birds licences and guns then some small talk and off they went. A. nice to see they are out keeping things legal. B. 2 outstanding representatives for F&W. 3. just down right pleasant to deal with and not disappointed no tickets to write. Hats off to ya and keep up the good work!!!

More often than not encounters like yours are the norm. Never had a problem myself with Fish and Wildlife. Congrats on a good hunt. Cheers. Whitey

Good job on the pat on the back post! We too often only hear about the downside of encounters on here. Glad to hear that you had a good meeting with what sounds like two class acts.

Default Cws

The CWS (Canadian Wildlife Service division of Environment Canada) migratory officers are federal and often accompany provincial F & W officers checking Migratory hunters. Could have easily been both!
