I realize that I am not from PA, but, may I ask you if ( big if ) in fact a real wild eastern was discovered to exist would this altar the way folks hunt and trap in that state. It would be good if you could give a simple yes or no. As this study you mention does cover the northeast, and I do believe you stated Me as well. I also think that the remote areas that one would be in is out of reach during the winter months as snow has made it hard to reach those remote places. Yes some could snowmobile in there but, would create a trail for coyotes and other pedators to walk on when searching for game. It is discouraged here to leave a marked trail.
