I can't comment on the pay but my friend seemed OK with it. I was blown away by how carefully they checked out potential recruits however. My friend went through nearly six months of background checks, psychological exams and physical exams, not to mention multiple interviews. The vetting process was far more strict than anything I have every heard of in other types of law enforcement or the military.
If my friend is any example of the kind of people the DFG hires as wardens, they are a smart and talented bunch. I have spoken with dozens of DFG folks over the past few months. Without exception I have been impressed with these guys. Not a yahoo among them. I have yet to find a warden who thinks that the MLPA in its current form is reasonable or enforceable.
On the other hand, if things do not end up going our way, we have to keep in mind that the wardens are hired to do a difficult job. They do not make the rules but are still responsible for enforcing what gets handed to them.
