I wish him the best in his retirement and hope for a good replacement.Hopefully he won't be replaced. Historically WDFW has only had one Deputy Chief, it wasn't until Chief Crown was hired when he created a DC for Land Operations (Mike Hobbs) and a DC for Marine Operations (Mike Cenci). A couple years later Crown changed the DC positions into DC for Western WA operations (Cenci) and DC for Eastern WA operations (Hobbs.) As of right now the only DC is Hobbs and WDFW is currently back to how the program was run pre-Chief Crown.

That'd be good too, I just don't see any reason to trash cenci now that he's irrelevant.

I hope he has a great retirement, and hope to see him on the water.

Interesting thread, I happen to know Mike quite well and I have the opposite views of a lot of the posters. Mike loved his job and worked hard at actually catching poachers. Just because your not doing something wrong and you get "hastled" doesn't mean someone else isn't, that's how they catch the bad guys.
I hope he has a great retirement, and hope to see him on the water.
If I’m not doing anything wrong I SHOULDN'T be HASSLED. Keep drinking the cenci
kool-aid.

And according to bigtex he won't be replaced. That's good- more money to be spent on wolf studies.

He’s been on record saying the opposite.
If you see him on the water you may want to crank it and jet out. He’s also been on record crashing a WDFW boat.
3 game wardens that I’ve talked to with 90 years of experience between them have all unanimously agreed: He is self serving, only cares about fish, and completely unprofessional.

He was nothing but bad for fish and game, He could have supported the people investigating the biggest poaching ring in our states history, instead he went against it. D bag all the way.
I hope he has a great retirement, and hope to see him on the water.

I don't know anyone who worked in Enforcement that respected him.Marine officers did. Land officers (for the most part) didn't.

I don't think there is any question that he did have a pretty good handle on marine/commercial issues and actually did some good things in that department. From what I have heard, his people skills and role as a supervisor sucked big time and a lot of damage to some good folks was done.Correct
