U.S. Fish and Wildlife Special Agents

I was wondering if anybody has ever worked with this agency, and what they were like. Also wondering if anybody on here has applied, and could verify that they only hire 10 applicants a year.

Thanks guys, Stay safe.

If USFW special agents are anything like National Park Service special agents, good luck getting on with them. I know NPS SA's are few and far between. Sequoia, for instance, a park that has a HUGE marijuana cultivation problem, (think drug cartels, not hippies) has one SA. Dope stuff is all he does. A lot of parks don't have a SA at all. It's pretty hard to get any of those coveted 1811 spots.

I've worked with them and like MORA said... good frigging luck. I tried early in my career to get with them but there are only something like 250 nation wide and they are extremely hard to get. I would actually be surprised if they actually hired 10 a year. When I worked with them several years ago they had three of them here and they were from different offices. MI had one, and I think WI, IL, IN had two. I would always say apply, cause it can't hurt but I wouldn't recommend not looking for other jobs as well because you're likely to end up homeless if you sit and wait to get in with them.
