Also I know many of us have called the 800 DEER poacher hotline and nothing has happened not even and officer showing up. Pretty lame in my book !!![:/][:/][:/][/quote]
There are 5 officers that cover over 500 sq miles of area. They are not all on shift at the same time and are not always near the area you have an issue in. The best you can do is report everything you can and hope they can make it to most of them. If they say they cannot get there in time or at all, call the sheriff's department. They can issue a citation just like the DWR CO's. Never stop reporting illegal activity that takes away from you, me, and the rest of the lawful anglers and hunters in our state. I personally have called 6 times this year. They made it to 5 of them and issued 4 citations. That is a pretty good return in my book.
Also, if you call the poaching hotline and nothing happens, call the ogden office directly and they can call the CO's on their cell phone. Another thing to do is get the CO's numbers in your phone. I have 5 DWR CO's in mine as well as 2 State Parks officers and 3 county sheriff's. If you want them shoot me a pm.
They are doing a fairly good job with what they have to deal with and the resources they have. It is the bone heads that sit on the boards and the desk jockeys that need to be replaced. Give the guys a break.[frown]
