I thought they took your rifle in a poaching case? I find it hard to believe if he doesn’t pay the fine the PGC says, oh no problem you are poor, go on your way.
IMO you seem to be out to just get attention. Oh poor sproulman, having all his does & fawns shot, that he’s not going to shoot anyways. Those darn road hunters just poaching his deer left and right. They can’t pay the fines, so the PGC lets them off. Yet they can go and put couches in the backs of trucks for their deer exterminations. Oh poor sproulman, how will he save the deer? A 5 strand fence that will only get cut so the poachers can get in and kill his deer.
first, they dont take your guns when you get caught ROAD HUNTING.
as for fence, all my neighbors have fence up now and it has stopped the doe/fawns from being shot.
it works but cost a lot of money...
how are you going to get fine from people that dont have money.
i have friend who built a house for a man/women that both earned 80,000 a year combined.
he is block layer.
he did wall then asked for his money,10,000 dollars.
they said they arenot paying him.
they went to the magistrate who is related to me and he told them,STAND IN LINE,YOU ARE NO.21..
to this day, they have not paid him for work.thats 20 years ago.
these are people WITH money ,think about one i mentioned WITHOUT a job.think the PGC will get their money ?
as for me saving doe/fawn.
i dont want deer gone like in clinton/potter/cameron counties.
i was just at camp in youngwomens creek..
17 hunters and they got 1 doe.
all had doe tags.
doe they got was small fawn.
these guys always killed their 17 doe.
NOW they say, this hunting is bad,the PGC should do something.
these hunters ALSO had 3 DMAP tags to kill 3 doe each in county that is almost wiped out of doe.
THEY are ones pulling trigger and PGC is letting them do it with DCNR along for ride.
why you would be mad that i am trying to keep hunting for future of kids is beyond me..
this year i saw most privateland posted than in 50 years i have hunted here in those 3 counties.
why, because doe/fawns are almost gone and privatelands will be place that still have a few deer left..
dont feel sorry for me, feel sorry for all of us that will see our hunting get to point that most will give it up or go to counties, which i am seeing now, where doe are still left;
i know many that went to PITTSBURGH area this year to hunt doe and most came back with their tags filled.
maybe you will wake up IF your county,ALLEGHENY gets folled with hunters and your hunting gets a lot worst.
