5 of the eight commissioners are Marine specific in their occupation.

And so is the director, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.  We have many former fisheries officers who took well to the merger, and truly do treat wildlife cases equal to fish/shellfish.  It just takes an open mind.

One of the problems is that at the end of a shellfish investigation, there are often thousands (or even a million) of dollars to seize, but in wildlife cases we normally end up with a beat up Toyota and some rifles.  We have to convince them all, that it is the resources that should be most important, not the money.

  Wow!! I just don't understand thinking sometimes, I started this book and couldn't put it down, the more I read the more I just couldn't believe what i was reading, my  is this should have gone on for a min of 3 to 5 years and everyone should have supported, now this is just my  if all these agency's and states would have got behind one another there would be more animals and other resources to harvest in time.

Cory you won't be sorry for getting this book, I'm getting extras for X-mas gifts. We bitch and moan about the field officers but read the book and see what kind of crap they deal with. I've been hunting WA since the late 60's and have never had a problem with the WA filed officers and I could not tell you how many I have encountered in the field. Everyone was professional and respective and both sides gave guidance for a positive outcome.

Either way is fine.  If you want it autographed, then it will have to come from me.

Read this thread last night... ordered the book on the kindle and just finished it up.

Interesting read thats for sure. It's unbelievable what these people did in a short period of time with even less help from the "higher  ups"

Thanks for spending the last years of your career doing the right things even through all the trial  and tribulations. I think most in your position would have went about their daily routine until time was up.

Oh ya...

Did  you offer the phone salesman a job?

And I loved how you came up with the name "Operation Cody"

I would have loved to have offered a job to the cell phone salesman, but unfortunately a recommendation from me (for a F&W Enforcement job) would be a kiss of death.  I don't carry much weight with our administration.
