As with a poorly run company the PGC will be replaced.Remember how the auto industry ignored customer demands for better cars.Honda came along and built cars people wanted and people bought them.
If reasonable demands keep falling on deaf ears the same will happen or is happening with the PGC.
I own 150 acres here in Crawford county.I own it for the sole reason to hunt deer. My land and much more is in jeopardy of becoming another mall because of the mismanagement of this states greatest resource.
And I also will not be forced to kill at random.
I'm sorry - but you can't replace the government.
No matter how badly it is mismanaged or how much it is debt, you cannot shut it's doors. Who would take it over? The fish commission? I would be all for that - because the fish commission is running in the green and isn't complaining about a lack of funds and also stocks fish through out the commonwealth.
The only reason for the hunting zones in my opinion - was to make it easier for the road hunters to go from woodlot to woodlot cleaning out the deer. When one place is empty - you can drive down the road 20 miles and clean out another spot and your tags are still legal.
Back in the day, if them city hunters from Greensburgh and Latrobe and Pittsburgh wanted to hunt does in let's say Jefferson County, they had to buy a tag for Jefferson County and give up the right to a tag in Westmoreland County.
Now they can go to Jefferson County and if they don't get anything they can still go home and hunt down by Delmont and still be legal.
It made it better for the city hunters and worse for the country folk.
