I have to agree with cardeer, Alt is a good speaker and politician. I've lived in NE PA all my life and have been hunting here for more than 40 years. To me the PA Game Commission is just another political organization to muster up votes for politicians.

Proof! Just look at the recent firing of commissioner Vheneski buy Gov. Ridge because he stooded up for the hunters in my area and fought against a political move to ban a target range on game lands. He was fired and the politicians won.

Here is another example that I just read this morning. Taken from the PA GC NEWS (2-10-02):
DR. ALT ANNOUNCES PUBLIC MEETINGS TO DISCUSS DEER MANAGEMENT : .....Kingston, Luzerne County: Thursday, Jan. 17, 7 p.m., Wyoming Valley West Middle School, Chester Street. The event is being hosted by Rep. Phyllis Mundy, and co-hosted by Reps. Kevin Blaum, Todd Eachus, Tom Tigue and John Yudichak.... Look who is hosting it!!!!!!! See any Sportsmen listed???? And by the way, the head of the PAGC hates bow hunters. Just ask the PA UNITED BOWHUNTERS organization.

Yes, we do need better management of the deer herd but by whom - POLITICANS? I think not.
