The District supervisor sent me the email I posted but he did not erase the email trail back and forth with his boss.

So yes, the "in my district" comment was directly from him and the other was a request from his boss.

He did send me another email saying that I was not bothering him and that they encourage feedback from the WMA users and are always looking for areas to improve.

That's one thing I can't fault the biologists (the only ones that aren't hired as biologists are game wardens and technicians) for is being receptive to feedback and being helpful. They definitely do their best to be public servants, at least the ones I've talked to have been. I've conversed with a few of the WMA managers, and I have nothing but positive things to say about them. Very helpful. Hopefully you get the answers you are looking for. Would definitely be nice to see something done about West Bay roads. That was the first public land I ever hunted on, and the only reason I quit hunting there was because of the roads.
