RT,
Most County Sheriff's Departments have a reserve program for people that want to volunteer some time to supplement the regular patrol deputies. In most cases they have to work 12 hours in a month. Has anybody approached either the Oregon or Washington Game Departments to see if such a program would work? The one drawback to such a program would be giving up valuable fishing time. The other problem is that even if the gammies have a reserve program, the training would probably take awhile and would not address the immediate problem at hand. Just thought I would throw this out and see what you think.
