doug, i am using short comments now. who you think got the doe permits reduced?????HANNA did,state rep.hunters put pressure on him in 2g.why do you think some WCO,sdont like hanna for doing this???who do you think puts pressure on the PGC ???? state reps do.dont you think insuranceand hammermill /international paper has pull with out state reps????yep.doug, PGC knows where their paycheck comes from.state reps allow increase in hunting licenses.so, PGC is going to do what is going to be in their best interest.with lower license sales you can see that pgc could be merged with dcnr. then, their paycheck would come from STATE taxes.i really think that most in the pgc would like being merged into dcnr.you would know more on that, not me but if the money is going to dry up do to hunters not buying hunting licenses,then i would expect they would be much happier over with dcnr and steady paycheck coming in. what do you think.
