RE: baiting deer in Pa
Doud and Bio. You bought into the BS spewed out by the agency.
Revel in it. Gloat if you must.
It's unfortunate that a great many PA hunters (and especiall young hunters)in many areas of the state, without access to private hunting (unlike [70 DPSM]yourselves ) will not even see a deer this coming season.
Dr. (Kevorkian) Alt made deer hunting in PA a sham. And all the kings men on Elmerton Ave sanctioned it. Now several are saying Alt's plan was flawed. Where the hell were these geniuses when Alt was running wild? (I'd hate to have to share a fox hole with those MARYS.)
As far as Pheasants are concerned, has the agency made any serious attempt since the early 80's to reintroduce WILD Ringnecks in PA?
Note, I did not say Sichuan!
Right now with the reintroduction program headed up and funded by PF and a university and the USDA the PGC is playing a (reluctant) very minor roll with NO CASH contribution. Three years running and Cal DuBrock did not budget for it. It's as though they really don't want to have pheasants in any significant number. ( By the way, I don't believe DuBrock hunts.)
Take note, the agency did budget for ELK. How many hunters will hunt Elk this year??? 40?? 50???... WOW!
Pheasant hunting would draw 250,000. Maybe more.
Grouse hunting would draw 100,000. Maybe more.
Justify that ace.
Concerning Grouse, the PGChas a successful 30 year study that shows PA could have Grouse numbers equal to some N.Central states such as MI, WI, and upstate NY if they would only initiate the plan. They wont! Why not? It works GULLDAMNIT!
Why conduct a study, that proved successful, for over 30 years and not impliment it?
After you consult with your PGC handlers please provide logical answers.
Get your head out of the clouds and take a sniff of the ambiant air. That odor from PGC BS will only make you sick!
