DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE

A typical work day goes as looking over the equipment before getting in it such as checking all the fluids and greasing the machine. Then I would either hook up to a finish disk, bog disk, or planter. I will disk or plant fields I am assigned to. 
I learned how to communicate better with others. Learned more hands on such as replacing parts on equipment that was needed.
The management was outstanding. My foreman was very out going, easy to work with, and made the work day a lot easier.
The workplace at Fish and Wildlife was great! I loved going to work everyday, I love what I done, and who I worked with.
The hardest part of my job was getting brain steams out of the deer we had to pick up.
The most enjoyable part of my job was running all the different equipment and working on all the equipment.

I loved my time with the KDFWR. I helped control and monitor the state's elk population alongside the state biologists. There were a lot of learning opportunities and chances to participate in unique experiences. I helped conduct fish and bear surveys, participated in elk surveillance, and analyzed wildlife data. I liked all of my coworkers and thought the pay was fair.

Cannot be afraid to get your hands dirty here. Most work is out in the field on the water which was enjoyable. Must be willing to do some maintenance and office work as well. Job can go from very fast paced 12 hour day one day, to an 8 hour slow day in a maintenance shop.

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is an excellent place to look for work. There are several levels of positions that all get to experience the exciting wildlife and fishery research being conducted in one of the most outdoorsman-friendly states in the country.

Working for fish and wildlife in Kentucky could be a good place to work if you know the right people.  If you do not, you are in for a long ride.  Nepotism is high on their priority.

As a conservation camp counselor serving as the office assistant, I experienced a flexible work environment that allowed me to develop skills which will be useful in future employment opportunities.

Great place to work. I have great bosses. I would not think twice about continuing to work here if another position became available, but I have already reached my ceiling and need to move on with my career.

I loved working at fish and wildlife. The job pay was fair, I always loved coming to work, and my coworkers were great. There was always a positive vibe in the building. I miss working there! 

My time spent with F&W was nothing short of what I expected! The people are great and there is multiple opportunities to learn and gain industry knowledge.

It was a good place to work. I was instructing children how to swim, drive boats, fish, and also teaching hunter safety.
