Default RE: Pa. Game Commission Problems

DCNR oversees the managemaent of hundreds of thousands of acres of State Forest and State Parks, among other things. Timbering has become a cash cow for them, as lots of the forested areas under their control have matured. Lots of these areas are being fenced in so the deer which are left, cannot browse on the young shoots as they regenerate, or so they claim. Many feel that the DCNR has little or no interest in maintaining a deer herd of huntable size due to the opinion that they are only interested (DCNR) in protecting the regenerated timber for future harvest. Hence, the realization that the PGC, if lost due to monetary difficuties wre disbanded, the seemingly logical choice to absorb their programs (or eliminate them) would fall to the DCNR. It' starting to scare some of us.
