The California Department of Fish and Game will stage three roadside checkpoints in Placer County on Sunday in an effort to catch hunting violations.
The event coincides with the opening of hunting season for gray squirrel, mountain quail and grouse. Two of the checkpoints will be near Foresthill, while the third will be in a remote area east of Foresthill.
"The checkpoint is there to find violations of the Fish and Game Code," said Brian Moore, Placer County game warden. "It could be anything – out of season hunting or animals that are fully protected – that could come through."
The checkpoints, to be staffed by 16 game wardens, will be set up like a roadblock at each of the three locations from 3 to 8 p.m..
Wardens will stop vehicles to inquire about hunting and fishing activity and check licenses.
