Behind the Badge - A Simple Invitation
A Simple Invitation
District Game Warden Jerad Bluem
As winter carries on and all things seem to slow just a tad, one of the things I look forward to are sports shows.
For the recreating public, it’s an opportunity to visit with vendors on the latest and greatest in the outdoor space.
It’s a chance to have an inside look at that new walleye boat or the new campers.
Some will take in a seminar to learn how to use modern fishing electronics while the family heads off to watch the dock dog’s competition.
For me and the other department staff attending, it is an opportunity to be present where the sporting public has already gathered and to provide answers to questions you haven’t quite got around to calling the office about, or the one you’ve been waiting to ask when you bumped into us at the gas pump.
It’s an opportunity to visit and a share in the highs and lows of stories from afield.
An opportunity to look at pictures and hear stories of an individual’s firsts in the outdoors.
The department goes to great lengths to provide this opportunity to the sporting public.
On behalf of the department, I invite you stop by our booth and visit with staff.
This year we will have the Report all Poachers trailer at the Bismarck and Fargo shows.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to see the trailer, it features approximately 15 completed cases and mounts associated with each case.
The trailer will have the case presentations as well as department brochures and staff available for questions.
At the Grand Forks and Minot shows we will have a booth space with a couple game warden case presentations, department brochures and staff available for questions.
We look forward to the opportunity to visit with you!
