Enforcement Survey

[ser300wsm]

Done !!!!

Done, but........what a crappy survey, there should be a comment area so those of us that have positive suggestions to make can make suggestions.  Seems like thats what the survey was about I think.  It says check 3 things at one point, but nothing I wanted to check was on there.  I'm sure the WDFW can pay people to find out what we think and fix the problems....Baa ha ha haaaaa.  What a joke.

Read the bottom of the survey.....

"To submit recommendations and suggestions for improvement, please send your comments to enfcomments@dfw.wa.gov."

Yeah, I seen that there.  Heres my thought, they have a survey out thats getting lots of responses and probably some useflull information, look how many people on here alone have filled it out, but the survey lacks the real depth it needs to be much more than toilet paper.  I can think of several good questions easy and I'm not gettin paid to make a worth while survey.  Not near as many people are going to send comments to enfcomments@dfw.wa.gov as filled out the survey either.  I call and send emails to the WDFW and such all the time.  Gets me no where.  Actually sometimes they do have answers for me, but never seems that I like the answers and basicly I end up finding out things aren't gonna change.  A warden once yelled at me and said "You don't prioritize my time."  and went storming off.

If you really look at the survey you will find that the "usefull information" is there. The survey is objective based with the objective of saving or gaining enforcement positions and dollars.

I got pulled over on FR25 many years ago.  The Game warden said I was speeding when I passed him going the oposite way.  I dont think I would have been stopped but I was 20 had a .22 rifle in the back window and I was driving a 72 chevy c20.  I would have checked me too if I was him.

Well it is true. None of us set their priorites. The agency sets what their officers priorities should be, and right now there is a lot of "priority" with commercial enforcement.

I nearly went to a marketing firm right after college...  Surveys are done for 2 kinds of reasons... They are trying to find out what a majority of customers want or, as is the case with most GOV surveys, The want to do something and need to "prove" that that is what need to be done.. I have had 2 experiences with gov survey work and they were trying to justify what they wanted to do.... In one case it was a total waste of $$$ because all the other similar agencies were doing it and this one was like the last 25% to convert.... kinda a no brain er but had to jump though bureaucratic hoops.... The second survey did get the honest outcome they wanted so the hired a firm and payed bigg bucks to get the answer they wanted.... They paid like $250K for the lie and we found them the truth for free...

Done. some of you know that I called the Game Warden's cell to report a poacher on my property a few weeks ago. I left him a message because he did not answer. He never even gave me a call back, that goes to show that there are not enough enforcement officers in the state. I have only seen two of them EVER while hunting in WA. When I was guiding in Wyoming we would see them at all the trail heads and they would even ride into our camp to check tags and see how things were going. But that is a state that actually cares about managing their wildlife.

Done but ya I agree get the Game inforcement back into game laws not other. I dont find it hard to believe they are doing those kinds of things, but if you dont seem em then I guess I have or know of sintances and such so ya I beleive it.

I would've called the local sheriffs department, they are quicker to respond to trespassers.
