Even as someone with many years of wildlife law enforcement, I found Operation CODY disturbing in both the amount of trafficking occurring, as well as many folks attitudes.  And what vexes many is where/when will another u/c case take up the fight to protect our wildlife resource.?  The problem hasn't gone away.  The best uniformed officers (and there are many) can't begin to touch the black market that exists.  Kudo's to UC for fighting the battle.

I have to say that i was surprised/ appalled that it had not been done before in this state. Many of us grouse about X Y or Z law and how its written or selectively enforced. ALL hunters  seem willing to get behind Commercial abuse and/or poaching so it astounds me that Operation cody was treated like a Red Headed stepchield and slapped around.  :bash:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

A great read but it leaves me a bit miffed over how things fell apart.

I might add That Riverside Archery In West Mount Vernon has them for sale in thier shop!

Noted!

Plus I am serious.  I can ship you one if need be.

It's not the cost. It's my Jewish frugal side kicking in, most books once read sit on selves along time before being read again. :chuckle:

I have some I reread every couple years they are that good. I would never loan those outside my house.  ;)

I'll buy you one, Todd put out a good read we should not have him give one away to get his story out. He spent a lot of time and money getting it published, give him credit for a job well done and purchase. PM me for the offer Boss .300 winmag only please.

I'm about to sit down and read the book. I've loaned it out upon receiving it close to 10 times. I'm just not really sure I can take whole thing in knowing things I know. Enough credit can't be given to you, UC. :twocents:

Congrats on your new gig as IGW editor!  I've always enjoyed reading it.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Interesting article.  Should be a very interesting 2015.

Interesting about the lawsuit against Cenci from the Waukiakum County family. Sounds like he made some mistakes in the way he went after them. But I can guarantee he was on the right track. They are liars, thieves and poachers. A family member was sued by a member of that clan who was trying to legally steal some property my family member owned, and it was thrown out of court as totally meritless.  I'm also friends with cousins of this family and they told me not to hold it against them that they were related to them. They don't even claim them as family members.

I don't condone law enforcement breaking laws to enforce the law. But Cenci was right in this case. Sounds like he used the wrong methods to try to prove it.
