This year The Feather presented a program at Sugarbush on Feb 13,  with the local conservation officer, Michael Young....   Michael discussed the problems of people shooting non targeted species, like great horned owls and red tailed hawks.  One of the students ask what a game warden all wears.   Mike showed them the 22 pounds of equipment, handcuffs, flashlight, cell phone, bullet proof vest, tools, gun, ammunition, club, you name it they wear it.
