You know, the mountains of Idaho are pretty darn steep also. Your not going to believe this, but having been there myself to see it I can tell you that they timber those very steep mountains.

I guess Idahoans must be better at timbering than Pennsylvanians.

Doug, would you please tell us why the PGC hasn't implimented the proven methods of selective cutting in any other Game Lands as described in their Grouse Study that has been going on for some 31 years and has proven to be effective in increasing Grouse numbers, rendering a profit from that method of timbering as well as being beneficial to all Game and wildlife?

Dick (gosh, I used that bad word kicd) Boddenhorn (Game Warden) claimed that they (the agency) had implimented this program in other Game Lands, but when I asked if it had been done on acreage such as on Game Lands 176 (some 2800 acres) he didn't have an answer.
