Title: New District Biologist
Post by: Sumpnneedskillin on March 24, 2011, 06:58:28 PM: Did a search and didn't see this anywhere and if this is old news sorry....

In today's Lewiston Tribune there were 2 paragraphs in the Outdoors section saying that Paul Wik had been selected as the replacement for Pat Fowler.

Very nice guy and seemed to be in it for the animals! I have never met him but have talked to him several times ;) There is another member that I think knows him a lot better than me.

I'm sure he will do great and he is probably the best person for the job with all his experience in the area and working under Pat Fowler for many years. Best of luck to him.

I've got experience with Paul and have spoke to him on the phone multiple times. He's a hunter like the rest of us and I'm really looking forward to the future. Paul will do a great job.
