Colorado Parks and Wildlife director Jeff Davis steps down https://share.google/xKV7iN2A8lqpkpoLn
The politics is the same as Washington, certain sheepeople within the state like to complain.
But have no clue on the effects wolves have on all wildlife,and do not care till they get there way.

I also think that if he a professional, trying to get wolves to colorado was his job- dictated by the result of the ballot to reintroduce wolves, regardless of his feelings. Pretty tough position to be especially when it then goes sideways. Look no further than our own director's position when it comes to spring bear. He doesn't seem to like the commissions decision, but he can't change it and has to enforce it. His resigning/firing makes a lot more sense when you think of how Polis (CO Governor) is very much like inslee, meddling in wildlife management because of his personal values.
Even if I probably would disagree with 90% of Davis' decisions or beliefs, I can respect that it was likely more scientifically based than the overtly political manipulations that were being forced on him.
The most interesting fact in reporting is that part of this whole negotiation for him to leave his position for the special advisor role is that he agreed not to sue.....

People who work for wdfw come from all stripes and perspectives ....in general I think the wildlife bios, even the ones who hunt, don't agree 100% with our armchair wildlife management opinions.As with Trudy, it's Mrs. Polis. :yike:
