RE: baiting deer in Pa
That misappropriation (of dedicated Habitat Funds) could lead to suspension of Pittman/Robertson funding as this would be a breech of commitment on the part of the PGC.
In fact, Pittman/Robertson has been looking into this matter as we speak. If you ask for a FOIA on the matter you will be told that the matter is still under investigation.
Let's see,....Hmmmmmm in 1998 Pennsylvania had 1 Million+ hunters. At $6. from each license sold going to Habitat Improvement that would equal
$6,ooo,ooo
Pittman/Robertson matching funding:$3,000,000
___________
Total = $9,000,000
The real total since 1998, considering theloss of hunters over the past several years is most likely somewhere in the neighborhood of some.....
$60,000,000 Million Dollars.
That my fellow hunting friends is one heck of a lot of Habitat Improvement money. It should have gone a long way to improving hunting on Game Lands in Pennsylvania. Does anyone think that there has been $60,000,000 worth of Habitat Improvement on Game Lands in the past 7 years?
