Show Administrative Checkpoints Planned In Near Future PRICE The Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) is planning a number of administrative adminis-trative checkpoints this summer and fall. Checkpoints, once called roadblocks, provide a means to contact a lot of people along the state's transportation arteries. Anglers and hunters can expect to encounter one or more of these checkpoints as they fish and hunt. Checkpoints provide the DWR with the opportunity to monitor compliance with hunting hunt-ing and fishing regulations. Biologists can collect data from anglers and sportsmen and harvested har-vested wildlife. Where necessary, neces-sary, conservation officers can issue citations, seize illegally taken game, and make arrests. Checkpoints will be conducted conduct-ed on a variety of highways and roads throughout the state. It is the responsibility of the DWR to protect and conserve the state's wildlife. By curbing poaching, over-limits, and other unlawful activity, the DWR is able to better bet-ter fulfill its mission to the resource and general public. |
