The Montana Game Wardens Association (MGWA) is an organization of active-duty officers who serve as State Game Wardens in the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks. Retired officers as well as a number of non- warden supporters and sponsors constitute our Associate Membership. The Association strives to involve officers as well as the general public in important resource issues, recognize the long-standing traditions and accomplishments of Game Wardens in protecting Montana’s wild resources, as well as provide various benefits for its members.

The MGWA is in no way officially linked with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, a state agency, although most of its members serve the agency and, by extension, the people and wild resources of Montana. Views, comments, and opinions expressed in this website and MGWA publications are those of individual members, the Association as a whole and are not to be construed as necessarily reflecting the current policies, views or opinions of Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.

The Wyoming Game Wardens Association was formed in 1973 for the purpose of furnishing a medium for good fellowship and loyalty to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and fellow officers, effectively maintaining the wildlife resources of the State, promoting a more efficient and able force of game wardens and to meet our responsibilities and problems collectively. The Association is classified as a nonprofit charitable organization for tax purposes.

For 50+ years the Wyoming Game and Fish Laboratory in Laramie, WY has provided top-notch services to the department as well as other state and federal agencies. The main focus of the laboratory is fish health and wildlife forensics. Additional duties include aging of big game teeth using a technique called cementum annuli analysis. The laboratory is one of the few state laboratories in the country that is both a full service fish health and wildlife forensic laboratory. Both programs are recognized nationally.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Forensics Laboratory is the only full-service crime lab in the world dedicated to crimes against wildlife.

Our crime laboratory is very much like a 'typical' police lab, except the victim is an animal.

We examine, identify, and compare evidence using a wide range of scientific procedures and instruments, in the attempt to link suspect, victim, and crime scene with physical evidence.
