Timing and consistent tracking lead to an arrest in a long-standing turkey poaching case and help provide an edge for Cpl. Mark Patterson in his recent selection as the Georgia Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) "Officer of the Year" award.

 

Cpl. Mark Patterson, a conservation ranger with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division, is assigned to Wilkes County.  This recent statewide recognition makes him eligibile to receive the national award from the NWTF.
