Who do you want for WDFW Wildlife Commissioner?

[bearpaw]

I thought this would make for some interesting discussion.

So if the Senate does vote out some of the current non-confirmed Wildlife Commissioners and the Governor does not reappoint the other three commissioners who's terms are ending, who do you think would make a good wildlife commissioner for hunters, fishers, ranchers, and the outdoor community?

Dale Denny. Douglas Kendall. Me.

Anyone who is a hunter and somewhat intelligent.

It would be nice to have a requirement that they have a minimum number of years of hunting in this state, so we know they really have an understanding of the issues we face. (20 years would be a good minimum)

I am honored that anyone would suggest my name, but I'm unable to do it at this point in my life. Maybe 10 years from now I might have the time, being a good wildlife commissioner will require significant year around dedication.

Good luck with that

It would be nice if we were able to contact local reps with input so they could select a person to be our regional appointment. 

If its left up to the new gov, we will be worse off, Im affraid.

I know.  But the question is "who would I want."

There are other ways you could serve Dale, being a clear voice to the newly appointed with sound ideas, backed by a large contingent of like minded voters could go a long way, as long as a environmentalist with a history of liberal ideals and education is not appointed.

If we are going to get any new commissioners we certainly want to have a huge amount of input. Appointments will go through the Senate Natural Resources Committee and I have been told several of the members of that committee are supportive of hunters. From what I understand the Governor has someone in charge of vetting appointments. I will try to find out who does this, the correct process, and get contact info so that we can send letters. We have a few members on the forum who probably know this process, perhaps they can advise.
