We are looking for articles written by our Officers, their fellow employees, family and friends.
- What topics should be discussed? The magazine has a wide audience of current and retired officers, family, friends, hunters, and outdoor enthusiast. A portion of our readership is out of state too! Because of this, the variety of topics that can be written about is endless! Stories that play well are those about collaboration with other agencies and organizations (RMEF, DU, TU, ect.), success stories, big cases, a crazy call you went on, how-to articles, and a wild game recipe section as well. Additionally, there is always a need for “Get to Know Your Local WCO” profile articles. These can be done by any waterways and game officers in advance and archived by staff to be used each issue.
