I find it interesting...

...that the DNR can enter my ice shack without a mask on. Also take my license from my hand and hand it back to me without any sanitation. Has anyone else had this experience ?

nope, i have not, but if the DNR wants to come in my house, check my license, etc.......they can, i have no issue with it. i find being fully cooperative and friendly with those folks is or has a way better outcome in the long run!!!!

I'am not arguing that they should do their job.  I complied without an issue and had and will not have any violations.  However, I think they should follow the governor's mask mandate just like the rest of us and not become a super spreader.

They certainly should.  You could politely ask them to keep their distance or put one on before entering your house.

They should be wearing masks.

 

Being an optimist, I surmise that it could be that he just forgot to do so since he was outside. Being a pessimist, I would just assume that he is a d-bag.

if it was one of the two that stopped my wife, son and I on the west side of Big Bay on New Years day he was definitely a Dbag

Sometimes in a polite way, the effective way of putting an officer on notice is to ask for see his name and badge number. You might get some slight pushback but it alerts them that somebody might be reporting their behavior to their bosses. Of course, they know nothing will actually come of it but they don't want too many complaints on their records!

or ya could just say Hey I don't know where you have been or who you were with I'm not comfortable with you not wearing a mask and then put yours's on..  they get dressed the same way we do, one leg at a time...  just sayin

Hey now...I resemble that statement and I am DNR. LOL!

[SkunkedAgain]

I've never had a bad DNR experience. I did have a terrible experience with a police officer, went to the station the next day to talk to the chief, who had no record of my vehicle being stopped. That's when I learned to ask for a badge number and name.

Maybe they know Masks don't work which I would agree with.  

[whateverisbiting]

Masks do work, but they are not fool proof; they only reduce the risk not eliminate it.  Distancing the same, so the combination is exponentially better than nothing at all.  DNR should be respectful of people they are checking they don't know who has underlying conditions or who is caring for someone with risk factors.  Especially if they are going house to house they could turn into a spreader.  I would not let an officer in my house without a mask but certainly would comply to check license and fish.

Wrong.   Masks do reduce the spread.    They reduce the amount of virus the person wearing the mask spews into the air, and also reduce the amount inhaled by the other person wearing a mask.    So everyone wearing masks reduces the chance that the virus will be transmitted.   No, it doesn't eliminate it, if that is what you mean by "doesn't work".

Wear one of those suits if you've got one. 

 

I'd bet that if those virologists didn't have the suit, and had the choice between nothing or a mask, they would likely choose the mask all day long. It's better than nothing. I don't think that the *powerful* mask lobby is out there pushing doctors to encourage mask use just for financial gain! I certainly don't do it for the comfort or looks.

This is missing the point so far I didn’t even want to start commenting on it.  So, that’s it, I’m done with that one.

 

Wardens should be following the mandate for whatever reason one wants to choose.  And we have the right to ask them to or not let them in.  Pretty simple.  And I’m not a mask Nazi either.  I hate em too but I wear them for others.

[whateverisbiting]

I have worked with a lot of viruses.  We wear that to protect the virus from us.  So we don't contaminate our cultures.  Of course if you are working with a problematic virus you will be glad you have it on too.
