The following e-mail message was sent to WDFW Director Jeff Koenings. The sender has asked that their name be withheld. To: director@dfw.wa.gov Date: 02/03/2006 Subject: Charles Pudwill Vancouver Office Hats of to Mr. Pudwill in his investigations regarding some very bad folks here in Washington for the gross poaching and deliberate violations of the law in this state and in the State of Idaho. He worked very hard, kept communications up and was determined to see the law was upheld to the fullest degree. I had the opportunity to meet with him, visit and hopefully helped him with his investigations. As a result, the Washington men have received large fines, lost hunting privileges in Idaho and reciprocating states for life and lost their boat, truck, and fishing gear in Canada. The blatant disrespect for wildlife and the laws the rest of us have to be held accountable for as true sportsman, commend Charles for a job very well done. With this type of enforcement our children just might be able to hunt 20 years from now and know how important this sport is and that the game will be preserved for them as well to enjoy, both in the hunting and bagging of a legal animal. Thank you Charles for your endurance and a job well done.
