SUMMARY:'Coffee with a Game Warden': Get to know your local wildlife officer
LOCATION:Various locations
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Hi Everyone, This morning CPW sent us this email alerting us that this Satu
 rday they will be hosting Coffee with a game warden. We encourage everyone 
 to show up and ask questions as to how they are addressing the bear trash i
 ssues in Evergreen and the surrounding areas. Here is the email: On Saturda
 y, wildlife officers from the area are hosting 'Coffee with a Game Warden' 
 at local establishments.Conifer: 1:30-2:30 p.m. at Aspen Perk Cafe: 27182 M

 fficerBy Scott Murdoch, District Wildlife ManagerThis is the first of six a
 rticles written by Officer Murdoch that will be distributed throughout the 
 summer. Each will come out roughly a week in advance from when wildlife off
 icers from Park, Jefferson, Clear Creek and Gilpin counties host Coffee wit
 h Your Game Warden get-togethers, providing the public with an opportunity 
 to meet their local wildlife officer and ask them questions. Times/location
 s for the first Coffee with a Game Warden sessions at local establishments 
 on May 15 are listed at the bottom of the article. CONIFER – My name is Sco
 tt Murdoch and I am a District Wildlife Manager with Colorado Parks and Wil
 dlife (CPW). I work in the Conifer area along U.S. Highway 285 in part of P
 ark and Jefferson counties. This article is the first of a series of articl
 es that will highlight how wildlife is managed in Colorado. CPW is the stat
 e agency responsible for managing the wildlife that calls Colorado their ho
 me. The agency employs aquatic and terrestrial biologists, researchers, pro
 perty and hatchery technicians, administrators, wildlife officers, investig
 ators, engineers and many others to accomplish the broad mission of conserv
 ing and protecting the state's 960 game and non-game species. More than 70 
 percent of CPW’s wildlife programs to conserve and protect those species ar
 e paid for by the license fees from hunters and anglers. CPW does not recei
 ve general tax dollars to fund its wildlife conservation programs. Each job
  within CPW is critical to accomplish the mission; the wildlife officer is 
 one of those jobs that I would like to highlight. The state is divided up i
 nto 131 districts, each filled by a wildlife officer, known as a district w
 ildlife manager. Many biologists, property technicians and supervisors carr
 y a commission making them wildlife officers as well. The wildlife officer 
 is a Level 1 Peace Officer, carrying the same authority as a state trooper 
 or deputy. While wildlife officers focus on title 33 law (wildlife law), th
 ey can and do handle traffic and criminal law when the situation arises. Th
 e area along the Highway 285 and I-70 corridor is home to 12 wildlife offic
 ers, seven of which are district wildlife managers, four of them are wildli
 fe technicians and a lone supervisor, covering all of Park County, most of 
 Jefferson County, Clear Creek County and Gilpin County. The district wildli
 fe manager position is dynamic and integral in the management of wildlife i
 n the state. The roles of these officers vary from district to district and
  state to state. The species of wildlife in one area of the state are much 
 different from other parts of the state, so the focus in varying habitats c
 hanges. Additionally, human demographics and attitudes shape wildlife manag
 ement in different districts around the state. The intersection of wildlife
 , habitats, people and politics is difficult to navigate at times and is on
 e of the things that makes this job so fun. Since states control how most w
 ildlife is managed, there are often different management strategies across 
 state lines depending on priorities. So what does a district wildlife manag
 er do? It depends on where you are in the state. The specifics of what an o
 fficer does in Limon varies drastically from one working in Denver or Meeke
 r. There are three generalities of what a district wildlife manager focuses
  on, law enforcement, biology and customer service/education. The law enfor
 cement part of the job is perhaps the most obvious. If you have ever been h
 unting or fishing, there is a good chance that you have been contacted by t
 he ‘game warden’ and had your license checked. Checking for compliance with
  hunting and fishing is a big part of what we do. We are fortunate to have 
 high compliance with hunting and fishing laws, however, there are always a 
 few bad apples that are not following the laws. Officers will investigate s
 uspected violations, collect evidence, serve arrest and search warrants, is
 sue citations and assist district attorneys with the prosecution. Generally
 , the officer who detects the violation will see the case from start to fin
 ish. For very large and complex cases, the local officer will often request
  some assistance from wildlife investigators whose sole focus is those such
  cases. Much of the public probably does not realize that district wildlife
  managers are also a biologist. CPW requires all wildlife officer applicant
 s to have a bachelor’s of science in the field of biology, preferably fishe
 ries and wildlife biology. Much of the biology that the district wildlife m
 anagers deal with specifically relates to the management of big game specie
 s like deer, elk, moose, pronghorn, sheep, goats, bears and lions. Managers
  also work extensively with other species like turkeys, waterfowl, upland b
 irds, small mammals and fish.In order to have healthy populations, it is im
 portant for you to know a number of different metrics. How good is the habi
 tat? You need to know how many animals the landscape can support. How many 
 animals do you have? What is the makeup of the population? The composition,
  age, sex, size, all influence how that population will change over time. T
 he district wildlife managers work directly with terrestrial and aquatic bi
 ologists conducting population counts and classification. There are many me
 thods for doing that work including helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft coun
 ts, ground counts, mark and recapture surveys, radio/GPS telemetry, netting
  and electroshocking of fish just to name a few. One day we are in the air 
 counting sheep and the next we are packing in on horseback to electroshock 
 remote streams. Finally, district wildlife managers act both proactively an
 d reactively to address wildlife concerns the public has. Much of the publi
 c does not hunt or fish, but still interacts with wildlife. It is our job t
 o teach the public about wildlife and respond to wildlife conflicts. Much o
 f the teaching that we do is aimed at preventing some of the more common co
 nflicts. Some of the more common conflicts involve species like lions, bear
 s, deer and elk. Large predators like the mountain lion instill fear into m
 any and the thought of one walking through your neighborhood may send chill
 s down your spine. When sighed in a neighborhood or when a deer is killed b
 y a lion in a backyard, we often get that nervous call. Talking the homeown
 er through the situation or responding in person, will usually put that per
 son at ease, especially if they learn something from that interaction. Bear
 s are notorious for destroying trashcans, birdfeeders, cars and sometimes h
 omes. We respond to those calls; hopefully solving the issues in a communit
 y before it is too late for the bear. Deer and elk are often loved or hated
 , depending on if they are eating your hay, destroying your flowers, or cas
 ually strolling through town. When people are living in good wildlife habit
 at, it is inevitable that wildlife will get into interesting predicaments a
 s they navigate an ever-developing landscape. Therefore, the next time you 
 see wildlife, know that the local wildlife officer is looking after the wil
 dlife that you so cherish. If you would like to meet your local wildlife of
 ficer, please come with questions and share coffee with us on May 15 at the
  following times.Conifer: 1:30-2:30 p.m. at Aspen Perk Cafe: 27182 Main St,
