    Default FYI


    In case you were wondering why you don't get any news from Virginia DGIF (Department of Game and Inland Fisheries) its because they do not exist anymore. They have changed their name to Virginia DWR (Department of Wildlife Resources). DGIF is now the Department of Wildlife Resources | Virginia DWR

    This is what they said in the reference. Why a name change?

    Our mission is to protect Virginia’s wildlife and habitat and promote outdoor recreation. We wanted our new name to reflect the wide range of wildlife conservation responsibilities and opportunities that our agency has, from hunting and fishing, to wildlife watching, public lands, boating, and outdoor recreation. It’s simply that our name has now caught up to what we’re doing.

    Interesting since department is funded by hunters, fisherman and gun user taxes not the general fund.
