RE: Pa. "Wilds"
T--- Let me relate a little story to you about who some of the other people are who are using State Forest lands-----
Several years ago, on the first day of Bear season, I picked a nice spot to watch. I could also see part of the Quehanna Trail from my post. Lo, and behold, about 10:30 that morning, what do I see, but several adults leading a line of young kids thru the woods. As if this wasn't dangerous enough, several of the youngsters were dressed in dark clothing. I couldn't believe what I was seeing!!!
It was quite evident that they either had no idea that it was bear season, or didn't care. Regardless of their thought patterns, it shows a total lack of either basic knowledge of what's happening at the time as far as hunting goes, or total disregard and distain for the hunters and established game seasons.
If these are the type of people that we are supposed to share the woods with, things are looking grim. About the next thing that will happen is that some hunter will be arrested for discharging a firearm and scaring the daylights of some hiker that was in the area.
We've got a job in front of us. Let's get started doing SOMETHING before it's too late-------
