A major joint operation with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has led to more than 100 citations and or arrests against paddlefish poachers.
Paddlefish, also known as spoonbills, are an ancient species that can reach lengths of upwards of seven feet and attain weights of several hundred pounds.

After posting his "manifesto" on Facebook outlining plans for a revenge-fueled murder spree targeted at law enforcement officers, Christopher Dorner had been a fugitive in the California’s San Bernardino National Forest for nearly a week. He had already killed three people, and he would add one more murder to that tally before his reign of terror came to an end.

Knowing the mountain roads well, they found him again as he passed them in yet another stolen vehicle, this one a white pickup.
When Dorner saw the officers, he opened fire spraying bullets through the front windshield and driver’s door window. Several bullets pierced the vehicle’s cabin, including one that lodged in a seat just 10 inches from the driver’s head. [ Read Full Post ]
