Gone are the days of simple and concise hunting and fishing regulations in the Great State of Washington. Regulatory justifications like "The Best Available Science," have come to mean knee jerk reactions taken by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, often times based on political issues and "Extremely Bad Science." When a Fish and wildlife officer reports to work each day he or she cannot be sure of what areas are open or closed, yet the general public is held civilly and often criminally liable, if they don't.
The folks that are to blame tend not to be consumers of natural resource opportunities. Yet they believe that they can manage fish and wildlife despite a near total lack of perspective. The victims are the men and women tasked with enforcing these laws and the recreational hunters and fishers expected to abide by them.
Game Warden Gone Rogue, written by a 39 year veteran of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, addresses many of these issues while applying real life experience.
