This time I am going to take the side of the WDFW. License fees are cheap compared to other sources of entertainment, in fact I would be willing to pay more.

I don't know about anyone else, but the regional biologist I run into on the rivers I fish is always willing to discuss topics with me, answer my questions and has always returned my phone calls. And Brain, the enforcement officer on the peninsula, can only do so much with a territory from PA to Amanda Park. Look at the numbers the WDFW is working with and the budget keeps shrinking, is that entirely their fault?

Just recently the Govenor has requested additional budget cuts for the WDFW this year. How many of you are going to write the Govenor or call your Legislator and tell them that these cuts are unacceptable and complain you are losing more opportunity and that poachers are stealing from you due to lack of enforcement, etc..

Seems to be plently of complaints on this bb, I always wonder how many take action to help create change,or are they too busy enjoying what they paid for. Have you ever thanked the WDFW when things are going well for doing a good job? It's not always entirely their fault. I don't always agree with the WDFW, but the fact is they need some support from the resource users too.
