My bias against females in DNR-what we call the Raccoon Rangers in MI- we had a female enforcement officer in our sector for 20 years- and she was a full bore feminsta and a man-hater- and as you know, there are more ways they can write you up when waterfowling, and loved to do that- One of the District Judges (a friend and fellow hunter) finally admonished her openly in Court about her amount of "Chicken &^%$" citations- she has finally retired.

Besides being a good welder, I also have skills in carpentry, basic electricals (NOT electronics) and rough plumbing- so you'd be taking in a older guy who can and will work to earn his keep- pheasants from the porch- almost sounds too easy--Thanks!!
