I did time with the Ukraine armed forces fighting in the east, I left and since leaving I have wanting to start another adventure, before going out I was employed as an ecologist how ever I don't have any qualifications (I worked as a bird spotter and with bats) as I didn't need to do my particular job.

I am currently looking to go into anti poaching, I was wounding if anyone knew as any paths into this as it all seems a bit tricky to get into, I am aware of vetpaws but they seem quite hard to get an open position.

thank you

I live in western Oregon and spend a fair amount of time on public forest roads. This weekend I ran into a hunter who specifically stated he was hunting for a sow with cubs that he had spotted in the area previously.

I asked, "So, the cubs are pretty big, then?" and he pointed to my 40-lb Border Collie and said "Little smaller than your dog."

This is what the ODFW bear hunting regs state:

Bag Limit: One black bear per tag, except that it is unlawful to take cubs less than one year old or sows with cubs less than one year old.

Is this someone/something I can report?

Will a wildlife agency do anything about it?

I have the hunter's full name, plate number, and address.

Obviously no actual crime has been committed yet, but I'm wondering if this person deserves a visit from law enforcement for a refresher on their responsibilities/obligations as a hunter? And there's a good chance that this person will commit the crime, since that's their stated intention, but I don't imagine it could be proven after the fact. We have some mandatory and optional reporting involved, but none of it would provide data about the cubs' age as far as I know.

Working professionals in the fields of wildlife conservation, ecology, and animal protection encounter many challenging situations. The unique nature of the types of animals, along with the lack of awareness and regulation are just a few of the issues they face. With wildlife crime, such as trafficking, poaching and illegal hunting on the rise, it’s critical to have properly trained resources to help protect and conserve the U.S. and international wildlife population.
