RE: PA license sales 2006 The sky isn't falling after all!
well said DoctariAFC. IMHO, of all the declines in that report, the one we should be most concerned about is indeed the decline in junior license sales. A few states are actaully recruiting more young hunters than they are losing (Missouri for example). It seems the common factor among states bucking the trend is that those states have minimal or no roadblocks to a parent taking hisyoung hunterout as early as possible.
PA's recent mentor program is only a start and need to be expanded ASAP. Once we lose a kid, it's much harder to get him back!
