Fish and Game Warden
The Story of My Search There is no feeling like walking out into the woods on a windy chilly afternoon, and climbing into my favorite deer stand waiting on the perfect buck to come out. As he walks out and I put the cold rifle to your face, breathe in, pull the trigger, and watch him fall. I want future hunters to know that feeling and not worry about poachers messing with the game that the little young hunter is hunting. I want to protect the game and their natural habitats from poachers and cheating hunters. I looked up the information needed to become a fish and game warden The first place I looked for information about Fish and Game Wardens was a website called MS Choices. The next placed I looked at was a website

He decided to go into this field because he enjoyed being outdoors and that’s where he felt most comfortable. The easiest part of being a game warden is doing the job. He enjoys doing his job, but he has to drive a lot. But for the most part, he is outdoors for most of his days. He is most busy during summer months and the fall hunting season. The training needed for becoming a game warden is a thirteen-week long game and fish program. He has rescued many animals and, surprisingly, people during his thirty-four years. He mostly patrolled the rural parts of Monroe county. Ray Dardy enjoyed everything about his job, especially helping people. He would recommend this job to any responsible person who loves to help people and being outdoors. At the end of my interview, he realized that he never finished loading the kennel up, so I put my interview paper up and helped him finish.
My Reflection Of all the information that I’ve learned about my chosen career, the most interesting was Fish and Game Wardens can search vehicles and locations without a warrant. The main thing that I learned about doing research was how useful the internet and others who have worked in the field can be at giving you information about my career. I learned that parenthetical documentation is very different from other forms of essay formats. I also learned how to format a works cited page on my essay. The only thing that I will change about doing another research paper will be doing more research and looking up more reliable
Have you ever seen yourself working as Game Wardens? I honestly don’t see myself working as Game Wardens. If you really don’t know what Game Wardens are and do well let me tell you a little about them. Game wardens are great. It’s a nice work; you can work as Federal or State Warden. Both are great; I prefer Federal. Why? Because you’re still working with the government but to me is like they work better as a family instead of just everyone pretending to like each other and having to work together. Having said that, me give you some examples State and Federal of Game Wardens.
For many people, hunting is just a sport, but for some it is a way of life. In Rick Bass’s “Why I Hunt” he explains how he got to where he lives now and what he thinks of the sport of hunting. There are many things in the essay that I could not agree more with, and others that I strongly disagree. Overall this essay provides a clear depiction of what goes through the mind of a hunter in the battle of wits between them and the animal.
Game Warden Game wardens are some of the most powerful leaders in the nations from the early 1865 when the legislature created Fish and oyster commission regulating fishing. The department of game warden was added in 1907. When the state board created a separate entity in 1923, then in 1951 the name Fish and Oyster was dropped to create a new name for Texas park and wildlife Department in 1963. Legislature decided to pass an Act for managing fish and wildlife resources in all Texas counties with all parks and wildlife departments.

The job of the game warden is very important. For instance, they have to protect the wildlife and serve as a specialty police officer. Unfortunately, there is a lot of land to cover for a game warden so they have to cover a lot of land. Also, wardens must enforce the laws involving our vast ecosystem as well. That could range from pollution laws all the way to disposal of trash. Typically, game wardens will spend their time patrolling assigned areas (“Summary” para.4). They will patrol these areas by many sources of transportation; boat, vehicle, foot, or even by airplane. This transportation is vital to a game warden because hunting and fishing laws can happen at any place. While most of the work is outdoors, the officers will have to file reports on accidents. In addition to giving tickets and warnings, game ...

What characterizes a sport hunter in comparison to a subsistent hunter? Brian Luke writes about an analysis of what is called “The Sportsmen’s Code” that indicates the primary rules that sport hunters have to follow. The given rules are “Safety first, obey the law, give fair chase, harvest the game, aim for quick kills and retrieve the wounded”. It seems fair to say that any hunter can and will abide by these rules, and not just sport hunters. Although rules such as “aim for quick kills” may not be instructed by the Department of Natural Resources (which everyone MUST abide by), most hunters will follow this ethic to participate in the most successful
It’s my career and I love it. When I retire, I’ll retire as a Texas game warden.” –Brendan Shoars. This is a quote from the Ector County Game Warden that was interviewed for this assignment. He also talked about the dangers and all the responsibilities that come with his career. Texas game warden have a great amount of jurisdiction, just under a Texas Ranger, which has most jurisdiction in Texas. So that should say a lot about a game warden’s responsibilities as far as jurisdiction goes. Here in Ector County, there are not much dangers to avoid, not like someone would drown out here or if there’s much to hunt! Brendan also says that no matter where a game warden is patrolling, they have to be alert of their surroundings and know what dangers come with their surrounding patrolling areas. This is critical to protecting the environment, citizens, and even one’s self. The different special teams that the Texas Game Warden have are helpful for doing so, if it’s for search and rescue, or using K-9 to carry out a drug bust. Protecting the environment, citizens, and wildlife is something that is very important, especially the environment and wildlife. If anyone is interested in doing such activities listed and mentioned in this paper then they could have a career in being a game warden, especially in
They say that the easy part of moose hunting is up until you pull the trigger. Well, if this had been the easy part, I did not want to know what the hard part was. Then, six hours later, I understood! Actually, we finally had a lucky break; a half-mile before we caught up to the moose they had crossed a jeep trail. So, after we de-boned the Moose, it only took us four hours of packing fully loaded pack frames to get him to the road………and we are still eating that tasty meat.
It’s a brisk November morning like any other day, but today isn’t any other day, today is the first day of firearm deer season. Shots are going off everywhere like world war three declared on deer. I’m wrapped in every hunting garment I own but winters cold embrace always finds its way in. My cheeks are rosy red and my breath was thick in the air. As I raise my shotgun and pull the trigger, my heart races and my hands shake. As I race after my prize, the sounds of leaves crunching beneath my feet are muffled by the ringing in my ears. I’m walking face to the ground like a hound on a trail and then my eyes caught it, my very first whitetail. I will never forget my first deer and the joy I felt sharing it with my family. Hunting is a passed down tradition for my family and friends. Throughout the world, millions of people participate in the spoils and adventure of the hunt. Hunting has been a pastime since the beginning of man. Hunting is one of those things either you like or you don’t like. It’s hard to explain the joys of hunting ,because it’s something one must experience for his self. Hunting does have laws and regulations you have to abide by. Are hunting regulations benefiting the hunter or the animal? This paper will discuss some of the regulations and laws, types of game, disadvantages of regulations, the pros of regulations, poachers, and ways to preserve wildlife and there habitat.
Years ago, killing animals for food was part of the average man’s everyday life. While, now a days, hunting is questioned by many across the world because it is commonly viewed as a recreational activity. Many residents have a problem with the dangers that come with hunting. Not to mention, as time goes on, society seems to feel differently about animals and how they should be treated. One of the biggest debates is the harvest of white tailed deer. All over the United States, white tailed deer thrive because of the few predators that feast upon them and the large forests and habitats that these deer can flourish in. However, as buildings and subdivisions pop up left and right decreasing the white tailed deer natural habitat, the debate grows stronger. The heart of the debate is centered around ethical issues, human and deer conflicts, safety, and the benefits hunting has on the economy.

The freezing cold and often wet conditions that come with this miserable time of year are unbearable and no protection from these hostile elements exist in a tree stand. To make matters worse, the list of things to do while sitting in a freezing tree stand, that regardless of its position seems to constantly catch every wintery blast of wind, is unbearably short. I often try to pick up a handful of pebbles or maybe a few hickory nuts, fresh from their outermost shell, to throw at squirrels that seem to take over the forest this time of year. Sniping an unsuspecting squirrel in the head with a pebble often is the most exciting part of a hunting trip because most of the time spent in a stand, a deer is not even seen. The anticipation builds as more and more time goes into a hunt and I always get nervous. I question myself, wondering if I will even get a shot, if I do, will my shot even count? I still have to face the almost impossible task of finding the deer if I make the shot. All this anticipation builds until I see him, a beautiful buck completely oblivious to his impending doom has walked directly in my line of fire. I raise my gun and slide the safety off with a sharp click but the lone buck does not seem to hear this noise over the whistling of the wind and the crunching of the decaying leaves beneath his
I come from a family that is strongly influenced by the outdoors. We spend countless hours outdoors camping, fishing, and hiking. At a young age, I grew a passion and love for nature. That passion soon grew to be an obsession. When I was a young boy, I discovered the sport of hunting while looking at several books and pictures stored in my father’s closet. My father would tell me several stories of when he hunted in Mexico. I was fascinated by this sport and dreamed of one day taking part in the tradition of hunting.
