WDFW overturns wolf depredation, then reinstates it after political pressure

[huntnphool]

I dont understand how these wardens can continue to work for these crooked phony managers with out publicly calling a spade a spade.

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.

 Wow.

 Wow.

It sounds like he did his job to me. Is he supposed to quit and make all things right in the world? I doubt he has millions of facebook followers to publicly call out to at any rate

Why "wow"? It's not like they can speak out and join a department 20 minutes down the road and do the exact same thing like city cops or county deputies can do. If you want to be a game warden in WA you only have one option, WDFW.

I think the WOW comes from the disconnect of job vs passion. We only hear how messed up things are from those recently retired. If insiders can make a positive change why should we hold them in high regard?

That is the vibe i get from him and others that say similar things.

I'm not a "game warden" and so I cannot speak for those who are.....

but


I think I would take solace in the fact that I am doing a public service and would do everything I could to bust poachers and dirtballs who need busted.   

The political crap would be that part of the job I least enjoyed...but after I got burned by my bosses in Olympia (again) I'd get back out in the woods doing what I felt good about while dreading the next depredation call. 

we all got things we hate about our jobs, and things that make us feel good about it.   focus on the good, endure the bad.

Ya its like the job pays good, the retirement and bennies are good, so why would anyone speak up and rock the boat just to save deer and elk and moose and stuff like that ?  The actual men and women charged with upholding the laws turn a blind eye to an awfull lot of complete and utter bs spewed from the mouths of the bios and managers to the media.  AND they know its all bs.  Thats the gripe.
