doug, i just read in paper today that pgc is releasing PEREGRINES.THE ARTICILE WAS THANK YOU FROM WESTERN PA.CONSERVANCY.they call release,HACKING young birds in state.so, here is more info that indeed our beloved game commission is releasing PREDATORS.sadly, i was lucky to catch this little articile .almost missed it. again, deer is at bottom of list of animals that is important. its birds now and bugs and canoe trips. i had to laugh when i read a hiking permit now for 20 dollars to be in woods. boy, bird watchers did not like that idea, they said, JACK UP THE HUNTING LICENSE INSTEAD.2of our sportsmen clubs, united bowhunters/fed of sportsmem clubs, which are pgc cronies said, RAISE LICENSE FEES UP.MUST BE A LOT OF rich SPORTSMEN IN THOSE 2 CLUBS.i agree with increase of license to 37 dollars as they want ,heck, with all this great deer hunting we have here, its worth it.haaaaaaaaa,what a joke!!!!!
Sproulman, I think if they are releasing Peregrine falcons it is because they are trying to re-establish their population, not for some sinister reason. And I am sure they are not releasing red tails. Or coyotes, foxes, or other predators. NJ isn't releasing coyotes either but we have alot of them around nowadays. I agree their are more predators around, but the conspiracy theories don't make sense.
no sinister theroy as you said, i am only pointing out that pgc /dcnr are releasing ,some we catch like i did on those birds, others we dont.my point is, they are spending tons of money on birds, bugs. lizards, tourism but nothing for greatest animal [deer] in history of this country.we will soon be trading in our guns for cameras.i really believe that deer huntringwill be something we only have memories of.
