I would like to get a copy for every employee of the WDFW. I'm sure there are many who have no clue about the stuff that's written about in that book.

Also every member of the wildlife commission. 

The media is a great idea as well!

It has gone to a couple of reporters, and a couple of stories have come out as a result.  There is more on the way!

To me, the sad part is it appears so many employed by wdfw, who may otherwise be valueable employees, do us all a great disservice by refusing to make waves in order to preserve their jobs.

To me, this makes them part of the problem as well............They have abandoned their conscience for their pay check.    :twocents:

Unfortuantly that is the case in MOST public jobs. Why do you think Todd had to wait until he retired in order to tell THE TRUTH! Whistle Blowers are only protected if they are telling on a hated business.  :twocents:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

You have to understand that not everyone is dissatisfied with how things are being run, and in-fact many like it.  It all depends on where you stand, who your friends are, who your enemies are, and what you are trying to accomplish

The biggest bitch I have about the game department is policy and priority's . they have seem to made it a priority to trick of influence typically ethical hunters into breaking the law( ie decoys during season ) .  Instead of partnering with sportsman to solve issues . I've never understood how a undercover sting lets the criminals get away with so many offences while building there case. the law should be changed by making the penalty for these crimes the same weather they poach one or twenty animals

That is a great idea.  I sent Dori an email this morning.  I will update it if and when I get a reply from him.  He is definitely a great watchdog of local government.  I will also be sending off emails to the Director of WDFW and the Governor.

Dori is good.  Another media person to make sure gets a book is David BozeHe has a radio show and is an avid hunter.

(I haven't read the book yet myself.  I'm waiting until after I buy my special permit apps this year before I read the book.  I don't want to get so pissed at wdfw that I give up hunting this state this year.)

May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
