INWC THE INLAND NORTHWEST WILDLFE COUNCIL February 3rd 2015 GENERAL MEETING 6116 N. Market St Spokane, WA 99208 The Big Horn President’s Letter Greetings, If you did not get a chance to attend the annual INWC Awards banquet you missed a stellar event. The venue was extraordinary with one of the best after dark views of downtown and the river in Spokane. My sincerest congratulations to all the deserving winners. One of my most appreciated aspects of the council is that we take the time to recognize and promote those individuals who go above and beyond to make the INWC the community leader it is. A special thanks to the Awards Committee for making this significant event such a great success. 509-487-8552 As hands on projects play such a vital role for the council, the Board was challenged to come up with some new ideas to increase our boots on the ground efforts this year. The Board of Directors responded with many new ideas to increase our community presence and continue to get our INWC family involved. If you have suggestions for INWC projects please let myself, the office or any of the Board members know so we can consider them. Projects can be of most any nature including park and lake beautification tasks, everything that would help wildlife and birds, improving hunting heritage or simply ideas to unite the INWC in our efforts to fulfill our mission. 6:30—Social Hour 7:00—Program Troy Pottenger From Nextbuk Outdoors We hope to see you at the next general meeting.

The six-episode series premieres Sunday, Jan. 18, at 8 p.m. on Animal Planet. "Our participation in the series provides an opportunity for WDFW's Law Enforcement Program to promote the department and the dedicated professionals that carry out our mission of protecting our natural resources and the public we serve," said WDFW deputy chief Mike Hobbs. "Policing the outdoors presents unique challenges, and this show helps to inform the public about our critical role in preserving, protecting and perpetuating fish, wildlife and ecosystems in Washington." WDFW officers enforce all state laws, including those related to fishing and hunting, licensing and protecting natural habitat. Officers also provide first response to incidents involving potentially dangerous wildlife, including bear and cougar, and other public safety issues. "Rugged Justice' provides a window into the vital, varied and sometimes harrowing work of officers as they protect nature and people in Washington," said Steve Crown, WDFW enforcement chief. The WDFW enforcement program has 144 officers deployed statewide. Officers appearing in 'Rugged Justice' were not paid by the show's producers or Animal Planet for their participation.
