Phil Miller transferred to the enforcement division two or three years ago too. He was the supervising biologist at Mulberry Fork and he also managed our DMAP program on our lease.
It seems like the main function of the DCNR is law enforcement instead of protecting our wildlife. Browse through the rules and see how many have more to do with managing people than they have to do with conservation of wildlife.
I'm a bit late to this discussion, so I'll be short..but probably not sweet. The malady of managing the outdoorsman more and more, over the initial impetus of conservation by way of habitat is overtaking more and more state agencies in this country. For those states that have not seen this happen yet, just wait, coming to your neighborhood soon. It first has to do with money, then power, then control. Wildlife and hunters along with those who fish are nothing but a resource to be managed and exploited by those in government who ideologically have a need for all three. WE ARE JUST ANOTHER MEANS TO THEIR END.
