Or, reduce the excess STAFF, give the field staff the aerial survey time, study resources, and other tools to do their jobs better with existing personnel, and devote more resources to managing existing wildlife lands and acquiring more, and it would be a heck of a lot better.

You think reducing staff would allow them to do a better job? What excess staff?

I think Billy they are talking admin staff cut backs and put those 500 back in the field. (I could be wrong though, but that is how I read it)
DOUBLELUNG:
Sisu's mainly right. Either put them back in the field as staff, or put the cost savings toward allowing existing field staff the resources to do the job better, or a combination of the two. Not saying there is an excess of resources, saying they are poorly allocated; kind of like buying new furniture instead of glasses and braces for your kids (disclaimer: that's an analogy, in no way suggesting anyone reading this neglects their kids!).
DOUBLELUNG:
One last comment: Bobcat and Boneaddict, I totally agree, those should be part of the cost of doing business. I know a lot of orchardists in Chelan Co. that understand that, and put in a fence when they put in an orchard; and some of them tell that orchardists who put in an orchard in core deer and elk habitat w/o fencing are fools and poor businessmen. Unfortunately, that's not the law of the land.

If they are top heavy then I agree, but even the low level staffing is too light.

Excess staff? Apparently they don't have anyone available to send out my master hunter package. :dunno: Was told the one person that does that is out on extended family emergency. A freind sent his in at same time and got his, guess I just missed the boat. :bash: Patience is a virtue.
