WDFW overturns wolf depredation, then reinstates it after political pressure

Great example of how WDFW could claim WA's wolves were well behaved, anything but a wolf...

[buckfvr]

I dont understand how these wardens can continue to work for these crooked phony managers with out publicly calling a spade a spade.  Just another example of how rotten to the core wdfw is.

Because they want to keep their job? And maybe one day promote?

Due to all of the baby boomer retirements most WDFW Officers have less than 10 years on and are under the age of 40, they are essentially new employees. Wouldn't go well for their career if they started speaking out publicly/privately. Heck, even Todd Vandivert (Operation Cody author) didn't speak out publicly until he retired.

And make significantly less money? WDFW pays less than most law enforcement agencies in WA, especially in more urban areas, but WDFW is still in the top three states for game warden pay in the US. WDFW actually gets quite a few game wardens transfers into the state simply because of the low pay in the other states.

That's exactly the kind of incident that destroys trust.

This adds insult to injury.

Thanks for being honest.

It is just a random facebook post that literally anyone could make up. Luckily we all know every facebook post to be 100% truth so we should all accept every word in that post because we all hate wolves

Are you familiar with Steven's County Predator Watch?

Ever seen one of their posts proved misleading/inaccurate before?

Knowing a few of the wardens both past and present, I know this and understand this, its mostly out of frustration I say this.  Self preservation is an overriding factor where differences in opinon exist between coworkers and management.  Always been that way always will, and its not just wdfw.

Scott Nielsen is the President of the Stevens county cattlemen association and works very closely with the sheriff's department.   

It would do NO GOOD to post false information and would hurt his ties to Jeff Flood (who's position is funded by WSDA through grants) and would damage the relationship with the Stevens county Sheriff Office.   


If Scott Nielsen is posting information of this nature, it is vetted and accurate.

It isnt about hating wolves, its about not trusting wdfw.

Thank you.

I haven't ever seen him post misleading info before, but I know you are much closer to it than I am.
He's always been a good source for accurate info.
