What Happened

Game Warden Charles Masoner suffered a fatal heart attack while conducting deer feeding operations in Itasca State Park.

He and other employees had been tasked with moving 80 pound hay bales through deep snow in order to prevent deer loss and to ensure a sustainable food source for local residents during the extreme winter months. Other wardens noticed he was feeling ill and began driving to Bemidji to seek medical treatment. He died while being driven through Hubbard County, approximately 10 miles south of Bemidji.

Game Warden Masoner was a U.S. Army Air Service veteran of WWI.

In tribute

I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.

Game Warden Masoner gave the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources 19 years.

Thank you for your service to the Saint Paul community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.

Rest easy, brother.

— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
