Alumnus Scot Shuler is New Dillon District Ranger
Fisheries biologist and former hunting guide Scot Shuler is the new Dillon, MT District Ranger for the U.S. Forest Service.

Shuler is a graduate of  CSU's Warner College and earned his master's in stream fish ecology. He joined the Forest Service in 1991, and is looking forward to continuing to build relationships between the Ranger District, local community and many key interest groups who care about the management of their public lands.

“Scot earned his M.S. degree in Fisheries Biology in my lab, and Barry Nehring of Colorado Parks and Wildlife was his main research advisor.  Scot was one of the hardest working graduate students that I mentored, and proved the old adage that success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.” ~ Kurt Fausch, Professor, Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology
