Brain Storming "How to send the DFW the message"

Yep, you are right, I need to give Scott Fitkin a call about that. :chuckle:
Sorry, don't mean to thread jack.

In the few meetings I have gone too I am still confused. I can't tell if WDFW is the boss and uses it's "knowlegde" to manage and regulate or if they are the "employees" driven by the public. From my experience (most recently the wolf issue). Some of the people talking have the "shut up and deal with it" attitude because the big Seattle meeting will be very pro wolf. At what point do they say, "We know how to do our job and we will work on educating you why we do what we do, while continuing to get better as we go along"?
The game wardens that lined the walls in those meetings had a much different opinion of how wolves should be managed than those presenting. As stated on here, the problem is that too many "officials" are in Olympia and not in the field or ....well they just don't have a clue.
I don't know that an election is a good thing. Pierce and King county will put a PETA member in there. While I realize there are lots of folks that enjoy wildlife besides hunters and fishermen, I do believe that we should get the biggest voice as we foot the bill. And no, I don't want to discuss the "outside dollars" that come in from specialized license plates.
ICEMAN:
So I take it my group BA from the parking lot is out?
Gringo31:
Ya....if it were up to me, I'd nix that one. Not sure that would send the best message. This is a problem from the top. Many of the wardens I talk to GET IT! But, their hands are tied as well and just doing their job. You can't address the group as a whole. It needs to go to the top.

"This is a problem from the top."
