[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5289041, member: 1409"] Just want to add one more thing so easy for us to overlook. In those counties with only a single wildlife officer, let's say the are "on duty" 12 hours a day, 24/7/365. That would leave half the time in a month when they [I]SHOULD[/I] be "off duty"? Just saying, when these county wildlife officers work 84 hours weekly "on duty", there is still 84 hours weekly they should be "off duty". [I]ALL[/I] of this time, they are "on call". [I]SOME[/I] of this time they have to get some sleep. It is logistically impossible for one of these guys to take even most of the calls that get directed to them. And never mind, they [I]SHOULD[/I] be able to have a life outside their work. Being human, no surprise a small percentage of them may tire of this profession before they can retire or get terminated for unacceptable work. But most are just doing this job the best they can, as long as they can. [/QUOTE]
