Game Warden Confirmation
At the request of the person entitled to hunt, the hunting authority may confirm qualified game wardens as entitled to hunt protection. Full-time game wardens should be professional hunters or trained in forestry.
Confirmed game wardens are generally responsible for the same hunting protection tasks in the hunting district for which they are confirmed, as they are incumbent on the person entitled to hunt. In general, hunting protection includes the protection of game, in particular from poachers, food shortages, game diseases, poaching dogs and cats, as well as ensuring compliance with the regulations issued for the protection of game and hunting.
