Ethics vs. Legality..... hmmm

I’m gonna say it plain and simple.
I do not believe you one bit, and you are probably a troll.
Here’s why.
1. Your superiors would reprimand you for coming onto a social media website and exposing your position.
2. The choice of the word unethical instead of illegal.

So back under the bridge you should go.

And your name is ...? Aren't public servants supposed to disclose/offer-up that information when addressing the public ?

Cheers, & good luck !

Hmm, odd that a pm was sent with no name or contact information to reply to the “officer”.

Hello....
Hello....
Lloyd? Is that you Lloyd?

Ha you have no clue how things work! How is him coming here any different than a report a poacher hotline? He’s not saying he’s under cover he just said this is what I do, if you have any tips let me know. Unethical vs illegal just semantics my friend. PLUS he said illegal activity in the first post. He may be a troll and he may be legit but your 2 reasons for discrediting him can EASILY be refuted...the all high and mighty AO members prove they are soo quick to judge again!

All law enforcement uses social media in some aspect since people are dumb and have to post everything they’re doing as they’re doing it..

I have his direct line, and full name if you'd like it... PM only.

* it would seem he's not "full of it", or being a troll.

I met a couple of the Federales a few years back when we were on a goose shoot. They were driving around watching people with binos and checking up after the hunts. They didn't interfere and were pleasant and professional. I had his card but don't know what ever happened to it.

I've only had one bad experience with a conservation officer. My buddy and I were cutting up my deer many years ago. I saved the hinds to take in for jerky. Well, they were still connected by the pelvis, and when the CO did a check at the butcher, he made a huge deal out of it and gave me a written warning because they weren't tagged. I thought that was pretty dickish. Could have been worse though, I guess.

I can also now confirm he’s legitimate.

I could give names of several provincial and federal politicians that are currently in illegal possession of wildlife and contravened cross border import laws.

Is Environment Canada willing to treat politicians the same as Joe hunter?

Well boys if he is a REAL fed officer - I would say it’s good to have him here. At least we now have someone here we can ask a tricky questions about hunting regulations etc...
If not - then we will find out really fast if he is a fraud.

When your boss (Fed government) tells you and other LEO to help the RCMP round up all these banned guns you will not be just here if anyone has information on unethical hunting I will do what I can

Every federal LEO is on the cusp of not being a friend to our community

Not sure why you won't post your name and phone number? Your credibility will increase significantly. Pretty easy to get the number of a Federal Officer with a few minutes on a keyboard. I think id do that before trusting a post like yours.

If you have a legitimate reason to talk to him, I'll provide you with the phone # he provided me... Or you can PM him yourself.

I took the liberty of Googling the number, and it's a Gov't of Canada # linked to a guy with a suspiciously similar last name as the OP's username. And I came to the conclusion he's the head of his Dept, the gov't website leads me to believe this - but he could be "just an officer".

You could call him though and ask, "Hey, was that really you posting on the Alberta Outdoorsman Forum ?"... But it might make you sound a bit immature, or borderline stupid.

Seems to me that even if the guys a fraud, all calling him out proves is, nothing.

And if he is ligit, all that was accomplished was to possibly alienate someone who we ought be supporting.
