There are several threads on here surrounding the corruption of the Game Commission.

Wa Wildlife First is now calling to have WDFW Director fired. But the big bombshell is that they get a least part of their funding from Jody Allen .

Jody Allen was accused by her security team of in part smuggling of restricted wildlife parts.

Like Shrill's emails.  "They" don't care about the content, just how they got into the wild.

I dont think they will can Kelly but I am concerned. He is a great man, and an amazing director. He put his livelehood on the line becuase he wanted to do what's right. They have the numbers, all they need to do is put it to a vote but that would make them look so guilty, and probably piss off Ferguson. Ticks me off at how much of the commission's, the public, and the department's time has been wasted on the same issues of least concern. And not to mention the amount of money when we are allegedly in a deficit. We still need to hold the commission accountable and make our voice heard, hunters need to be aware and comment on everything they propose. We got into this situation because people didn't make their voice heard or were aware of what they proposed. People's time and money needs to quit being wasted. The commission needs to focus on what really matters. Downlisting wolves, improving hunting oppertunites because lots of tags have been cut for years now, fighting hoof rot, improving habitat for wildife and public access on the shrubsteppe. That's one I'm passionate about.
