yelp:
Thank you to everyone for your well wishes.
Dan Blatt Sr. "Wacenturian" started his career then the Wa Game Dept. in Eastern Washington late 1960's working in the basin (Ephrata) on upland birds, waterfowl ,etc. He then worked as a control agent dealing with animal damage in region two. He then became a district Biologist setting seasons a d was one of the reasons we have Waterfowl reserves in Eastern Washington which added to hunt quality. He loved hunting. He then worked his way up the chain and ended up in Olympia in the 1980's. He work for Washingtons wild turkey population and with three huntable subspecies known as the Washington slam took a lot of work and he was proud of this effort for sportsman. He then ran the Upland Restoration Program across Washington State training 21 field biologists statewide on how to work with private landowners in a positive way while establishing habitat. Thousands of trees and shrubs were planted in the last 2 decades. He retired after a rewarding career and spent time chasing whitetails, wild turkeys, fishing and bought a piece of land to call his own down in Blue Mountains. He was a great person and always gave an ear. He taught me a lot over the years. He will be missed. Dan and I and my son with a nice longbeard taken on his property a few years ago. That was a great day. Thanks again. I will share comments well wishes with his family. Thanks @jackelope for the thread. Thanks again.

I met and worked with Dan when I began my career with the Game Department in 1980 in Region 2. Always a good and fair man. He was the spearhead for turkey introduction and relocations. I got to assist him with relasing turkeys north of Arlington on 2 occasions. Always a class act. He will be greatly missed.
