January BCSCL REPORT
Game
For the
first time in its 122 year history, the PGC will call its Wildlife Conservation
Officers “State Game Wardens.” This became effective 1/1/2018
Numerous
beaver complaints have come in. The cold/ice has slowed trapping down. After
the weather warms up, trapping activity should increase. Matt coordinates the
trappers with the land owners who want the beaver removed.
Fish
There was a
drowning at Lake Arthur in Moraine State Park last month. The victim made a
number of mistakes that cost him his life. He was out by himself, the ice was
too thin and he didn’t have a life jacket on. If he would have had a life
jacket on, he could have survived
Officer
Allen emphasized how important it is to be careful with ice activities.
• Have a
minimum of 4” of clear ice.
• ALWAYS
WEAR A LIFE JACKET
• Always have another person with you.
• Have a
throwable flotation device, a rope and ice awls
