CDFW to set up checkpoints on I-80 in Truckee

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife will be conducting wildlife checkpoints in Truckee to promote safety, education and compliance with laws and regulations.

Wildlife officers will be at the agriculture inspection station on westbound Interstate 80 from 8am-4pm on Oct. 18, Nov. 14 and Nov. 22.

Officials say wildlife checkpoints encourage safety and sportsmanship by promoting voluntary compliance with laws and regulations through education, preventative patrol and enforcement.

All anglers and hunters will be required to stop and submit to an inspection. CDFW officers will also be providing informative literature about the invasive quagga mussel to anglers and chronic wasting disease to deer hunters.
