………After reading that I will now be updating my resume to reflect that terminology.

Anyone know of a good way to make “milking cows” sound real special?

How about Dairy engineer? or maybe Milk Supply Chain Manager?

I worked at a gas station for a short stint in high school.

We were known as Petroleum Transfer Technicians.

I hung gutters one season-
I told people I was a hydro diverter engineer.

Udder tech

I kinda like “Titty Grabber”

Secretary’s are now known as Administrative Assistants

It’s like are you drinking a soda or a pop, hotdish or a casserole

Okay, you can call my wife a hot dish but please, not a casserole!!

Snow shoveller

Solid precipitation removal tech!

Out West, the term “fishing guide” is being used less and less…

They are now known as “Fish Acquisition Specialist”.

To the original post…Depends on state. In some states their called Connservation Officers because they have greater police authority as well as hunting and fishing regulations. Example. IL DNR has Conservation Officers who can enforce trespassing. Wisconsin’s Wardens do not handle trespassing.

I was once the CTE of a large pizza chain, “Culinary Transport Executive” or more commonly known as a delivery guy!

I used to be an airline baggage handler, otherwise known as a Baggage Relocation Specialist.

It’s amazing how much these people have to stay on top of!!

Fish and game wardens in Wisconsin are called “conservation wardens” and they are law enforcement officers who protect the state’s natural resources. They have full police authority on all DNR-owned or managed property and expanded authority statewide. Their primary concern includes:

Wildlife and fish
Recreational vehicles such as boats, ATVs, and snowmobiles
First responder/emergency management
Environmental protection
Water regulation
Forestry laws

and then there are those who love being a Richard cranium just because they can.

that said,my hat is off to those who do it for the love of nature and who truly try to keep things in order,and I have had the pleasure of meeting more of them than the others over the years.
they are a tremendous asset to all of us and they deserve our respect IF they earn it.

I understand their position when they dont have a clue how you are going to react when approached,but if you have nothing to hide,it should go well enough.
get to know your local warden or CO,that way when you need them,there is no doubt you are on the up and up.
being a land owner here,its paid dividends over the years.
