90% of the officers I've dealt with have been really reasonable individuals who are certainly interested in the protection of ALL of our resources. That being said I have had 5 or 10 run-ins with certain officers whose actions have been totally out of line and in 3 or 4 the officer's actions were NOT in the interests of conservation. Now remember, that is in 40 years of being a license holder, never issued a ticket or warning, prob. involved in 20 or 30 encounters with wdfw officers. That is significantly more then 15 % ,not a good number. As my wife Melanie quoted (and she has been there on more then one of these ocassions!), "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
