That looks like a great read! I'll have to pick up a copy. Any chance it will be available on Kindle?
Yep, you can get the Kindle version on Amazon.

I read the write up in Northwest Sportsman's mag, pretty dang interesting!
Thanks. I sincerely believe every sportsman in the NW should read it, not so I can make money on book sales (I make a whopping $3.50 per copy) but rather so everyone knows what is happening to our resources and what is being done (or not done) to catch the rats who are stealing our critters.

:( I'm half way through , Op. Cody. Unreal how pervasive the poaching is going on. Not only in WA. ,but the other western states & Canada as well. All law abiding citizens of this state really owe Todd & Jennifer, & all the other LE people involved w/ Op. Cody a great debt of gratitude for TRYING to do something about the problem. Reminder, PLEASE write a letter to the prosecuting attorney of Pierce County, Patrick Hammond,930 Tacoma Ave S. Rm 946 Tacoma, WA. 98402. In regards to, Bona Bunphouath sentencing. Ask for the MAX penalty for this piece of #**#. THANKS for writing the book Todd!
Thank you very very much; not only for your comments, but for reminding everyone to do our best to send Bona to prison!!!

Thanks for shedding the light on how screwed up the WDFW is too, what a nightmare work environment. It really kills me how it seems they don't care about big game as much as the marine stuff. They should get equal attention and way more support than they do.
Anyways, I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone and have written a 5 star review on Amazon.
Great book, great job, thanks for the effort during your career at the WDFW and man do I feel for those that are still there trying to fight the fight.

Just finished the book last night, great read. The reality of it of course makes me sick. I was shocked out how normal this seems to the poachers and the complete disregard for the rules. In one week these guys take the same amount of elk it takes me 15 years to kill and the deer seem to be like rats to these guys. Insane.

UCWarden - Why do you think it is that marine issues seem to garner more attention than big game? My though is the relationship to commercial interests, but I am wondering if the insider's view is different?

I personally think it has more to do with the WDFW administration than anything else. Deputy Chief Cenci is a fish cop (from Dept. of Fisheries) and he runs the show. He doesn't think too much about wildlife cases.
If you haven't read the book, do so...I pretty well explained in there.

How are the book sales doing? I hope you sell a bunch to shed some light on what is going on... Do you have any idea what kind of numbers on how may you've sold or how many were printed?
I think around 400 have sold so far.
Amazon gets the book from Create Space (one of their companies). Create Space prints "on demand" so they don't make large runs....about 50 at a time.
I keep a stockpile at my home, and sell them through my website: www.operationcody.com (http://www.operationcody.com), and I have sold about 100 that way.
I need to figue out a way to spread the word about my website, and that should help spread the word.
Thanks

Just finished your book,as said before "couldn't put it down" read it in two nights.maybe time to separate fish and game. Thanks for a great read. Will review on Amazon.
Thanks for the kind words. I look forward to reading your review on Amazon.
I don't know about seperating fish and wildlife back to seperate agecies, but I do know it's time for a new, and neutral, administration!
