Bailey -
Also the PGC has little problem approaching the powers to be to get seasons,dates,fine,etc set to what pleases them. Yet they keep trying to tell everyone they can't get leg. to harvest more than 1% of their timberlands..
The PGC doesn't not approach the "powers to be" for seasons and bag limits. That is set yearly by the Board of Commissioners. The next Commission meeting is scheduled for January 21-23 here in Harrisburg. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Fines are set in Title 34 and we are currently working, at the request of a Representative, tointroduce a revision to that section of the code.
The PGC doesn't not need any legislation to harvest timber or do any other type of habitat improvement work. Those goals are set by the Executive Director for each region on a year to year basis. Contracts are set over a two year period hence the occasional fluctuations. Some years are higher and others lower.
