WDFW is ripe for a book like this to destroy what little public trust they had left.

I understand, but please do keep in-mind there are a whole lot of very dedicated officers just waiting for some leadership.  It's not that WDFW needs a total house cleaning, they just need some real leadership.  If we could all force some real change in admin., I am pretty sure we would all be pleased with the outcome.

No doubt.  We had a friend from New Zealand with us.  He just left yesterday and had planned on touring Glacier Park and Yellowstone.....guess you know how that's going to go.
Seems that nobody does their jobs anymore.....especially congress and the president.

It would be nice to know how to do this. I would assume the only way for this to happen is if hunters and trappers were the ones to put people into position at WDFW. If corrupt politicians are involved (as they have been) then the whole system is flawed.

If I knew how to effect change easily, I would have done so a long time ago, but I do believe it can happen.
Always remember that everyone has a boss; whether it be the Governor, the commission, the director etc.  In-light of the fact that the new WDFW chief was one of the former chief's staff (and a very close friend of the deputy chief), I am guessing the WDFW director either doesn't care what happens in enforcement or agrees with it. 

Once the major hunting seasons are over, I want to try to make some real changes; perhaps through WFW (Washington for Wildlife).  If we don't at least try, we can't complain too much.  For one thing, I seriously doubt the legislators and F&W commissioners have any idea of what is going on.

Don't give up, there is a chance we can change things for the better.

For all of you interested in Operation Cody; I just started a website (www.operationcody.com).  On the website (which I am still working on) I will post photos and updates on many of the suspects.
Check it out and let me know what you think...just remember I am still working on it.

I've finished the book finally. Great work for wildlife & sportsmen. Thank you, Todd. I hate the resistance you received to complete your work. It's really appalling. Who's the outdoor radio host who's big in Seattle? He should have a copy right away.
