After 34 years with WDFW and its predecessor agencies (Game and Wildlife), I have decided to retire at the end of June. I have had a great career with the Department and have had many diverse and challenging opportunities, although perhaps none as challenging and potentially rewarding as implementing the Wolf Plan.
UGggg!

Post by: winshooter88 on June 21, 2015, 10:15:32 PM: Dave was at the last GMAC meeting and said that he has been planning on retiring at this time for several years, so I don't believe it had anything to do with the new director. He actually told us when he moved from wildlife director to wolf lead that he would be retiring soon and that was before Phil Anderson retired.

Post by: northwesthunter84 on June 21, 2015, 10:19:35 PM: That is an 80-90K per year position in Olympia that really accomplishes nothing in my book. The reason being that the person may have some good ideas but the treehuggers will just sue and sue some more to ensure that nothing meaningful will come out of this position. I would rather see a couple more wildlife enforcement officers on the road then :pee: away that money.

Post by: Roundhead on June 21, 2015, 11:14:31 PM: Lets wait and see how the new guy is doing.
My gut feeling said they're going to promote one of their pup to this position so that the pack is pure and strong.

If I was qualified, I would apply and try to get an interview.

Likely Nate Pamplin.

Really? I doubt he'd want that job. Unless it's a big increase in pay, I guess he'd be like me and look at it as just being able to afford more hunting trips.

Post by: bobcat on June 24, 2015, 07:58:14 AM: Just looked it up, Nate made $103,967 in 2014. So I definitely don't think he'd want to take a cut in pay, especially for that job.
Title: Re: WDFW Job Opening - Wolf Policy Lead (WMS3) *04281W
Post by: Bob33 on June 24, 2015, 08:19:00 AM: The last guy that had that job resigned.

It's a no win situation.

I honestly think you'd have to be a bit whacked to want it. :twocents:

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
