I dont remember the last time I saw and FWC officer in my area, and I work near many State preserves and coastal areas. When you call them for something, they never respond. They only come when a panther get hit by a car and it takes them 6 hrs. We reported an illegal alligator catching ring in my Troop to them, they were as interested as a fly in an old pile of crap.
