Warden Wisdom – A Fund Raising Project!

Wouldn’t it be great if we could all sit around a campfire and share our favorite tips for catching poachers and other violators!!!

What could be better than hundreds of officers from across North America sharing literally thousands of years of experience with each other!

The "Warden Wisdom – Tips & Tricks Manual", that’s what! This new CD has literally thousand of hints, tips and ideas for becoming a better Wildlife Enforcement Officer, all provided by field level officers from across the continent!!

All of these tips are on one CD! All have “hot links” which instantly connect you to the tips in any one of more that two dozen chapters, including Big Game, Patrol Techniques, Coastal Waters, Computers and many more!!

There is certainly nothing in North America that offers a better value in Officer training on a per-officer cost basis!

All of the tips are written in a comfortable, colloquial style, such as you might get from a veteran officer coaching or mentoring a younger peer while chatting out on a patrol. Some of the thousands of Tips include:

Road markers: Poachers also use road markers to mark where they've left a carcass for pick up later. To save time finding his pick-up spot, the poacher may leave sticks, rocks, beer cans or any other object along the roadside. Look for unusual objects, or objects lying in unusual positions.

Shell game: Some clam poachers to take short live shells, put them in a sack and take them to a remote location where they cut the shell meat and kill it. They then sink the bag of short cut shells, and wait a number of days for the shells to clean out and stain. They then raise the “dead shells” and sell them as legitimate dead shells on which size restrictions do not apply.

Muddy waters: If you think you are alone on the creek but suddenly see the water turn muddy, something upstream stirred up the mud and you may not be alone after all.

Tire signs: Go out one night after the dew has fallen and drive on a dirt road for about a mile. Shine some fields and woods with your spotlight Stop when you see a deer, or even follow it with the vehicle and light. Then stop and drive back the way you came observing your own tire marks. Notice how they weave left and right with short jerks back and forth and even spin off where a deer was spotted. Remember that tire marks signature and look for it the next time you travel on dirt roads look for spotlighters.

Slowly, slowly: The human eye is attracted to movement. A stationary target may be impossible to locate, even a slow moving target limits the chance of detection. However, fast, hasty, jerky movements are easily detected. Make slow, deliberate movements.

Retrieving severed lines: You're approaching and the anglers cut or burn their extra lines. How do you prove the violation?

·        An Ontario officer keeps a large airplane jig in a small tin. "I tell them I have a tool in my box that will tell me if they have cut extra lines. If you get there fast and they aren't fishing in deep water, the cut line will float for a while. I lower the airplane jig and let it fall to the bottom. It dives in a circle. I repeat this about 10 times and pull up the line. A few times, I pulled up the cut line with the same type of bait and rigging as the rest of their ice gads. When it is obvious they've pulled extra lines or cut them, telltale tips are a live minnow flopping around on a hook on the ice or else a cut line dangling in the wind."
