Good read. It's unfortunate but speaking the truth is the quickest way to get fired these days. Politicians don't want public servants that rock the boat.

Yeah, the GF needs to start caring more about wildlife, period.

Public agency for public good - that ship sailed long ago. WG&F anymore is at the command of the State’s feudal lords, and reps of ag groups outfitters.

I totally agree. Rock any boat with the truth and you end up living in a tent

It seems that the people with the biggest Nads are women. Sarah Huckabee, Kristi Noem, and Sarah Palin

Angi Bruce hasn't got a set, that's for sure. Goes along to get along.

Too many government agencies and departments have forgotten that they provide a service to the public and instead strive to run like private businesses.

A lot of people seem to have forgotten what "Public Service" stands for.

I remember sitting in a conference room in 2005 or so with the G&F, members of a petroleum association in Wyoming. We were discussing issues relative to the Pinedale Anticline and where the agency was going to come down on mule deer protections.

It was pretty clear from the get go that we were there as a perfunctory kindness. The deal was already cut by the Governor (a dem) and the industry. Mule deer got shellacked and WY got the Wildlife Trust out of it.

In 2002, I remember state employees getting put in closet for being too pro-wildlife when the original wolf-plan came out. Then, the a politically powerful group made the commission adopt a management plan that made a current congresswoman a ton of cash in dragging out delisting for another decade.

Chris' message hasn't wavered once in that time.
