District 6 – Two Harbors area
- Conservation Officer Sean Williams reports violations including hunting small game without a license.
- Conservation Officer Darin Fagerman encountered a married couple just driving around, smoking some dope and road hunting for grouse while their children were left back in a motel room. In the driver’s haste to cover up the marijuana smell, she reached towards a compartment to spray a cologne cover scent. In that compartment was a loaded handgun that she’d forgotten about. When asked if there were any other loaded handguns in the car, they also forgot about the second loaded handgun they had. They both received citations. Enforcement action was also taken for ATV violations and failing to remove bear bait stations after the season.
- Conservation Officer Anthony Bermel took enforcement action for unplugged gun, no federal stamp, toxic shot violation, no HIP certification.
District 8 – Duluth area
- Conservation Officer Kipp Duncan investigated deer baiting and trespassing waterfowl hunting.
