Sproulman, I have no doubt that that "Other" poster is a PGC plant. May even be Joe Neville (Executive PGC Valet). Timber is the bigest issue with the agency. They employ 38 foresters and only 19 Wildlife biologists. That should tell you where their first priority is. DCNR managed to make their 1% goal. I guess the PGC can't find any timber companies in the phone book. (Or did they run out of Brother-in-Laws in the timber business?)

And your right about the agency claiming that we hunters don't hunt hard enough or go deep enough. Three years ago I was better than 2 1/2 miles...REPEAT...2 1/2 MILES deep (GPS Confirmed) into Game Lands 12 (24,000 acres) with my two sons.
The youngest was at my side as he was only 13. Four does topped a bench a mere 40 yards from us. He had a doe tag. He wispered
"Should I shoot the closest deer Dad?" I thought about the 2 1/2 mile drag up and down 2 mountains and said,"Lets pass these up. We'll work our way back to the car and kill one closer with less dragging." What a fool I was! For 2 days we only saw 2 other deer and they were on a dead run probably 75 yards out. Impossible for a 13 yr old to hit.So don't let any PGC stooge tell you you don't go far enough ordon't hunt hard enough. Thats BS !
The people who keep saying that are those guys who get back ache form putting up a roofed tree house for a deer stand on restricted private propertyand get tennis elbow from carrying a Pee bottle up the ladder to the tree stand (house).
