RE: What you all think about this BS..
I know of no other state where their Fish and Game Dept. has such a bad reputation or is as hated by its hunters. They certainly deserve the bad rep.
I've never been arrested or ever paid any fines for breaking the law. I am an ethical hunter.
I have a very limited experience with the PGC, but what experiences I've had weren't good. They always treat everyone like a criminal.
I've hunted in West Virginia for many years and had the oppertunity to talk to their Game officials several times. I walked away very impressed at how proffessional they were. They would shake you hand and introduce themselves. They always seem interested in how your hunt is going and what you've been seeing. Not here in PA. You're guilty until proven innocent in the PGC's mind.
I have a buddy that has been a police officer for about 18 years. He did work in PA for a while but now is a Delaware State Trooper.
Once in a while they would get involved in helping out the PGC with something and always said how arrogant they were to work with. He even said that most police officers don't hold the PGC in very high regard. They seem to throw their weight around in a manner that they would get in big trouble for.
