Does this mean big changes coming. Don’t know how this individual was not fired years ago!

Voluntarily. He was newly eligible.

I wish him the best in his retirement and hope for a good replacement.

Hopefully he won't be replaced. Historically WDFW has only had one Deputy Chief, it wasn't until Chief Crown was hired when he created a DC for Land Operations (Mike Hobbs) and a DC for Marine Operations (Mike Cenci). A couple years later Crown changed the DC positions into DC for Western WA operations (Cenci) and DC for Eastern WA operations (Hobbs.) As of right now the only DC is Hobbs and WDFW is currently back to how the program was run pre-Chief Crown.

That'd be good too, I just don't see any reason to trash cenci now that he's irrelevant.

no reason other than he left getting full benefits when he should have been fired years ago and lost some of them bennies.Now anyone that ever had any thing to say about Cenci will forever have a reason to trash talk him since they will still be paying him by proxy.

Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you Cenci, good riddance!

Interesting thread, I happen to know Mike quite well and I have the opposite views of a lot of the posters. Mike loved his job and worked hard at actually catching poachers. Just because your not doing something wrong and you get "hastled" doesn't mean someone else isn't, that's how they catch the bad guys.

I hope he has a great retirement, and hope to see him on the water.

CarbonHunter · « **Reply #14 on:** May 10, 2018, 07:37:17 PM »

Sadly our state tends not to find someone better to replace those who retire. Be careful cheering his retirement before you see his replacement.

If I’m not doing anything wrong I SHOULDN'T be HASSLED. Keep drinking the cenci
kool-aid.

Cenci- the one who "doesn't give a **** about deer and elk." Glad he's gone.

And according to bigtex he won't be replaced. That's good- more money to be spent on wolf studies.

He’s been on record saying the opposite.

If you see him on the water you may want to crank it and jet out. He’s also been on record crashing a WDFW boat.

3 game wardens that I’ve talked to with 90 years of experience between them have all unanimously agreed: He is self serving, only cares about fish, and completely unprofessional.

The guy is a complete jack azz, If you read the book Operation cody you'd see a diferent side of your good guy. He was nothing but bad for fish and game, He could have supported the people investigating the biggest poaching ring in our states history, instead he went against it. D bag all the way.

I don't know anyone who worked in Enforcement that respected him.

Marine officers did. Land officers (for the most part) didn't.

Wasn't it Cenci who was grandstanding in front of the press on the morning of the Operation Cody arrests, before some warrants had even been served, therefore possibly endangering some arresting and investigating enforcement officers? Yep, sounds like a real quality guy.

Have a great retirement on the people of WA, D-nozzle.

I don't think there is any question that he did have a pretty good handle on marine/commercial issues and actually did some good things in that department. From what I have heard, his people skills and role as a supervisor sucked big time and a lot of damage to some good folks was done.

Oh Mah · « **Reply #26 on:** May 12, 2018, 11:28:33 AM »

How many times did he get or get the state sued?How much cost in equipment was he at fault for damaging?He didn't have a very good handle on anything from what i have read and heard.

Great news for hunters and WDFW employees! He was a disaster! And only fish mattered, not anything with wings or hoofs!
