But only if you’re accepted into the WDFW program to be one of their “agents”. Anyone know how many guys are enrolled in that?

I just assumed it was taking the guys who already do the contract killing and establishing new criteria for guys to enroll in that. So would there be two separate programs or did the other one go away?

I know a guy who runs cats for wdfw, he told me a few weeks ago this was going to happen.  Not just anyone will be able to run their dogs is the impression I got.

This will allow people who are qualified, meaning can pass background check and have capable dogs, ect to train thier dogs in our state to make them capable for use in depredations and studies that require the use of dogs

It allows wdfw to designate an agent of the state, basically the same program Oregon has
