Free: Contests & Raffles.
1/4 of the way into the book and it's already very exciting.
The problems you have had with the administration are no surprise to me whatsoever.
Read the free preview.. Now i can't wait until my birthday so i can read the rest of it... Fortunately i don't have to wait long... It always helps the inlaws when i give them specifics of what i'd like...
I read a book about the forrest service that made me so mad it took me 6 months to read because i could only read it 15min at a time once a week or so... Hopefully this doesn't piss me off as much.
Just bought the Kindle version. Look forward to reading it.

Just finished today.Operation Cody is a book that anyone who hunts, fishes or enjoys natural resources should read. In fact, I wish every WA resident would read this. I promise you will be outraged by how little WDFW has done to protect the wildlife we all own. I assumed operations like this happened all the time, not so. Operation Cody seems to be the first (and maybe last) of its kind and even then it was shut down just when it started going. The book is easy to read and hard to put down. The author takes you inside a world of criminal trafficking in wildlife that seems to rampant and is honestly scary when you consider how much probably is still unknown. Unfortunately the book fails to deliver at the end. There are very few details from the raids when the warrants are served and you have no closure on what has happened to these characters you have grown to know and loathe. There are no specific punishments listed and the reason given for that omission is insufficient. I suspect we would be even more outraged if we knew the level of punishment. The author does a good job exposing the bureaucratic issues in the WDFW ranging from politics to incompetency, but some of the authors commentary comes off as petty and bitter. Enough so that it makes you wonder if there is another side of the story. I can understand his frustration after giving two years of his life to this operation, but a few edits would go a long way. All in all, this is a must read and every hunter in this state should buy a copy for themselves and a friend. We all owe Todd a heartfelt thanks (and a steak) for his service to our state.
