Wardens Phil Brown, of Iron River, and Dave Sanda, of Gordon, contacted an individual to register a bobcat. It was discovered: the cat had not been tagged correctly; the tag was not validated; the cat was trapped with a cable restraint, which are illegal to use until Dec. 1; and, the individual had illegally placed cable restraints for fisher trapping.
Warden Brown observed an individual driving slowly down a gravel road with a dog running alongside the vehicle. Brown was able to come around the other way and approach the vehicle from the front as the driver retrieved a grouse. The man was driving around with a loaded .22 rifle and shooting grouse from the road without a small game license. The man also admitted to shooting a buck he had not registered.
