Cooperation is key for Mexico, U.S. game wardens
Game wardens from Mexico will join U.S. game wardens on Thursday to observe how enforcement is done here at the annual dove opener in Imperial Valley.
Lt. Joe Brana, a 26-year veteran of the Department of Fish and Game based here, said one or possibly two Mexican game wardens will ride along with his opening-day enforcement team of state and federal game wardens. Dove season opens Thursday, with shooting time set for 5:47 a.m.
“I’m looking forward to it because it’s something we’ve never tried before,” Brana said.
It’s all part of a new cooperative agreement between PROFEPA, Mexico’s federal Ministry for Environmental Protection, the California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The joint international task force will team up again Saturday, which is when dove season opens in Mexico, and afterward to patrol the border and prevent abuse of bird limits by American hunters in Mexico. American hunters have a well-earned reputation for going into Mexico and shooting more than their allowable limits of doves, pheasants and quail.
