Thread: Conservation Officers

I have been checked at Patoka couple of times, on Monroe couple of times, on the river once, deer hunting a couple of times, riding my atv down the county road once for its registration, over the past few years. As busy as they are and as many hours and country they have to cover, they do the best they can. We need more COs and it takes money. That is the problem. Now all the law enforcement departments, call on a CO to be present in most drug busts, so they are being called on to cover that crap and is taking a lot of their time so they are spread very thin. When the State Police are flying choppers and planes looking for pot plants, when they find it while in the air, they gps the coordinates, give them to DNR, and 99% of the time, they are the ones that have to dig and pull them up. They are too spread thin.
