Can USFWS bios carry a gun??
Not sure they can carry, lest they get confused with LE

Generally no. However USFWS employees in Alaska have been authorized to carry firearms for personal protection against wildlife while they are out in the field working. Typically this is a shotgun. Carrying a firearm for this reason is a personal decision and they do have to take a training course.
I'm unaware if this has been brought to the lower 48 with wolves and grizzlies being more prominent in some areas. This incident may cause that to happen.
There are also USFWS employees who can carry a firearm for invasive species control.
