Phil Andersen was at a meeting with wdfw employees a while back and said that we are not a hook and bullet club anymore also did you know that he came out of nowhere (not from wdfw)to top it off his family owns a bird watching boat!

This goes along with the upcoming merger and how screwed sportsmen are. we will all be watching native salmon being eatin by native americans with wolfs howling in the background.

Whats the season on greeners?

[Special T]

REZ-Hunter do you have any specifics on when/where the meeting was? and/or some other documentable facts? Its not that i disbelieve you but i believe in trust though verification.    This could be a very bad omen for this state...

[REZ-HUNTER]

ya but im not going to mention names sorry

[Special T]

Mostmeetings are a matter of public record... if this was at a "closed" meeting then i guess you cannot give any info... If it were a public one then all you have to do is let us know the when and where... 

[REZ-HUNTER]

It was at a regional office meeting for state employees.

Whats the season on greeners?

I believe they are not a native species (evasive, being most probably came from CA.) ,so they are not regulated by fish and game. Can anyone say no limits and year around season?

From his BIO...

Anderson also is WDFW's representative to the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC).

Anderson joined WDFW in 1994 after serving seven years on the PFMC as a private citizen, including duties as PFMC vice chairman and chairman. Anderson began his professional fishery career over 30 years ago as owner and operator of a charter fishing boat business. He attended Grays Harbor College.

Anderson and his wife, Chris, live in Westport and have two sons. Anderson is an avid hunter, fisher and birdwatcher, and has served as a school board member of the Ocosta School District.

Phil Anderson is a better director for WDFW than Jeff Koenings was, by several orders of magnitude.

[REZ-HUNTER]

what was meant by came out of nowhere was he did not come from enforcement, parks, or hatcheries you remember people that bring the money in. im not saying he is a bad person!

Boy...that's not saying much.  He was Koenings' assistant and was selected by Koenings for that position...you do know that...right?  I assume you do or perhaps that was after you left.

"Anderson began his professional fishery career over 30 years ago as owner and operator of a charter fishing boat business."

That is pretty mis-leading.....professional fisheries career?  Makes him sound like he has the credentials to qualify to manage a resource agency.  I don't consider a charter boat operator as a "professional" fisheries manager....sorry.  You may disagree, but the Wildlife Commission did a lousy job selecting a new Director if the only person they felt was qualified was someone without the necessary education and background.  More of a you've been here under Koenings fit....which is nothing more than a management short changing of Washington's wildlife resource and sportsman opportunities.

Nothing personal, but from what I understand, he would not even qualify for an interview anywhere in the country for a Fish and Wildlife Director, based on his background.  In my opinion, the Wildlife Commission is nothing more than a bureaucratic panel...they remind me of a school board.  Sorry....used to believe that was the way to go....no more.  They do little of any significance for any of us.
