You are all wet on this one Woody and the bear on the game lands analogy is ludacris. There are many jobs where people cannot do certain things that would be a conflict with their job. Deputies should not be doing inspections or compliance checks on permittees if they are a permittee. They should not be a permittee and be in competition with other permittees because all these things foment problems and complaints and create hostility and distrust. People becomming deputies know this up front and they choose either to become a deputy or not. Deputies already are held to a higher standard than the average Joe by the PGC. Not having a conflict policy would without a doubt result in the PGC being plagued with complaints about deputies who were permittees getting special treatment by the agency and having to waste an inordinate amount of resources investigating the complaints It would be irresponsible not to have the policy in place I don't know what put this burr under your saddle, perhaps you are interested in becomming a deputy and your permit is in the way, I don't know but if that is the case you just like everyone else who wanted to become a deputy must make a decision as to which one is the most important to you.
You answered your Own Question!
I have the Time, Money, Understanding of a Wife who has agreed to stand behind me on persuing this...
BUT, OH, I Can not because of someone decided that if you hold a certain license, you would then be very bad to those holding the same license and try your best to get thier license Revoked!
WCOs should not be considered a Conflict of interest on Red Tag Farms because they Wrote up a permit so the farm could be a Red Tag... if the WCO is off Duty and walks up to the farmer and say "Can I hunt today, I'm off Duty" Farmer has the right to decide if he wants WCO to do the Red Tag Hunt for him or let a relative or very good Friend or some Joe who comes in and asks do the hunt!
Same as all the other stuff I listed above about the licenses...
Guys who can and are Willing to pretty much do a Job that Costs them MORE to do then they get back, should be considered for the possition.....and then, IF they start writting folks up with the same license they hold, THEN there should be something done about it and the outcome should be FAR Worse then if someone else lodged False Reports against the person......OR if they Violate something that has to do with the License, they should then be held at a much higher standard then someone who just held the license and was not a DWCO!
It just looks like the deal with pouching... so many think that a person with a LTC and spot lights with the pistol on thier side is a "Wanna be Poucher" or the deal with being able to carry a muzzleloader and bow at the same time, some folks think that the person is guilty from the start of going to pouch a deer!
State and Federal government should give folks the Benefit of dought BEFORE Saying they can not doing something because of a license!
Of all the things I have Seen you, yourself post about the junk that goes on in our government , I would have expected you to be able to see how it does not give someone a Fighting Chance to Prove them Selves!
No, they are Just Guilty of doing bad things from the Get Go....they would Violate others rights to come out far ahead!
