Comments on: E-Mails: No Pressure From Dems in Poaching Case
Let’s be civil.
The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail webmaster [at] flatheadbeacon.com.

I don’t know how this will turn out, but I have faith in the jury to discovery the truth.  I notice, not even the Beacon staff point out Dem Brian Schewitzer’s connection to the head of the FWP:  http://helenair.com/news/article_e13825bf-7939-56dc-bf99-536ba8c4df26.html

===============
HELENA—Gov. Brian Schweitzer has tapped his long-time friend and former college roommate to run the state Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department.

Joe Maurier, who moved to Montana two years ago to head the State Parks Division within FWP, will replace Jeff Hagener, the former FWP director first appointed by Gov. Judy Martz in 2001.

Maurier has run Montana’s state parks system since February of 2006. Prior to that, he worked for 25 years with the Colorado state park system, leaving as deputy director in 2005.
==============

Jeff Hagener was forced out.

Modus OpeRANDY

A Congressman who hasn’t been beyond reproach
Hired an ex-cop to give his new campaign a coach,
But the fellow was a villain
And soon Denny will be refillin’
The position with someone who won’t be quite as willing to poach.

It’s alleged this scoundrel cop whose alias is Randy
Likes to shoot as many elk as might be handy.
It should come as no big surprise
That he told the Game Warden lies
‘Cause violating now seems to be his Modus Operandi!

When the dead spike elk was located on the ground
The Warden reported something suspicious that he found.
He’d seen a lot of critters die
But he’d never seen one try
To cover itself with it’s own self made burial mound!

When Wardens came to ask to check his gun’s ballistic
Randy answered them in a manner quite autistic.
“I sold it to a guy.
I don’t know who, or when, or why”
Which was the second sign of a cover-up characteristic.

Randy says “If you can’t find the gun
Then the deed wasn’t done”.
O.J. said “If the glove doesn’t fit
then the jury must acquit”.
A common strategy if ever I’ve seen one!

Randy swears that he’s a man who’s wrongly framed.
“It was those guys in that strange truck who should be blamed!”
When this poaching fugitive takes the witness stand
Will He say “It must have been the one armed man!”
And leave the jury to then decide who will be shamed.

You see, in hunting, there’s mistakes that sometimes happen.
You clean the game, make a report, and take a wrist slappin’.
When the bullets are a flyin’
The wrong animal sometimes does the dyin’
So don’t try to lie, ‘cause wardens know when you are rappin’!

But if Randy left the ungutted carcass laying in the wood
Instead of dressing and reporting it as he should.
In Montana, that’s a lowlife thing to do
And we wonder which other staffers knew.
Denny, stop using staff and skippers who act’ a common hood!
