OPERATION CODY- An undercover investigation into WA's commercial poaching

[ucwarden]

Finished the book about a month ago and it sure was eye opening (and not in a good way). Thanks ucwarden for your hard work and dedication despite being completely two-blocked by your management. I appreciate what you did and are doing. It was a fantastic read but made me sick.

Thanks for you support!  Some officers from WDFW said they liked the book but wished I had not aired our dirty laundry, but I felt if I was going to write a non-fiction (true story) I had to stick to all the truth, not just that which made us look good.  I also hoped the book might bring about some real change, but that hasn't come true. 
It is always nice to hear from people such as yourself, who understand where I was coming from and why I wrote the book.  I knew it wasn't going to make anyone happy, but I have never been one to hold back.

As I stated to one of the above posts, please take the time to write a review on Amazon, if you haven't already done so.

I also now have a new job; as editor of International Game Warden Magazine, which I hope to expose many of you to in the near future.

Thanks.

I just downloaded and started reading this book. Wow, so far the support is there.
Thanks "Tom and Tina"
Are any of the WDFW officers names changed?
I'm going to read this aloud around the campfire next season.

Nope I didn't change any of the names of WDFW officers, but did change the names of the federal agents and the suspects.

Why would the names of the Feds be changed but not the WDFW LEOs?

[Special T]

To protect the innocent!

The feds work under different policies than do the state officers.  They specifically asked me to change their names, so I did so. 

[Bean Counter]

Interesting.  Would you have done so if a wdfw officer had  requested the same?

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.

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

Yes, other than my name and my partner's, I would have gone with our real names.

Thanks again for all of your work ucwarden. I just posted a 5-star review on amazon. Very eye opening experience and great read.
