49er,
I read your misinformed information just fine the first time. The only enforcement that biologists do pertains to there appointed management areas. They spend the overwhelming part of their time doing wildlife biology, including permitted wildlife studies. The Dept. hires biologists to be biologists. Very few of your actual Game Wardens have biology degrees. You do just enough "research" to make your tunnel visioned arguments.
actually goodoleboy is closer to the truth
I've never know an enforcement officer in the Enforcement Section that had a Wildlife Management degree, those degree holders usually go to the Wildlife Section as area managers. Most enforcement officers THAT HAVE A DEGREE have one in Criminal Justice or other areas. Most of the enforcement officers I worked with did not have any degree, most had some college.
The part 49r posted about enforcement officers having to have a wildlife management, wildlife biology degree was for the new "hybrid" officers that are really just Wildlife Biologists doing part time enforcement work during deer season. They ain't true "enforcement officers"
the amount of enforcement work that area managers(like Matt) do differs from person to person, from area to area. The amount of enforcement work they do outside of their area also varies from person to person. Some do little, some do a lot.
