While browsing the facebook pace of the Michigan DNRE I came across a post from a gentleman who claimed to have called the RAP (report all poaching) number to report deer poaching. He claimed that a conservation officer contacted him and harassed him by talking down to him and threatening to accuse him of a crime. This gentleman also said that he will not be reporting anything again. The next day I went back to the site to see the dnre's reply and found the post missing. I wrote my own post inquiring about where this post went because I was interested in hearing the reply. Shortly afterward I received an e-mail from the dnr basically telling me to shut up about it and I was banned from their page. As my license money and taxes PAY the people who run the site and also PAY for the RAP hot line I find this treatment of me OUTRAGEOUS, a scandal and a cover up. If there ever was any doubt that the Michigan DNRE doesn't care about the people's voice then just tell them how you feel about something and they will prove it to you. As much as I love and care about hunting and fishing in Michigan I will never NEVER call the RAP hot line.
