The purchase of helmet-mounted night vision monocular kits will help area game wardens stop night hunters who trespass on private land to illegally poach game.

To better serve their area of patrol, Region IV game wardens must have access to a small but powerful vehicle to patrol hard-to-reach, remote areas, particularly in cases of search and rescue. This vehicle will reduce response time for incidents in areas with difficult terrain while significantly enhancing the ability of game wardens to carry out their duties.
