ORIGINAL: the outsider
I'm watching the executive director of the PGC review the PGC's annual report to the House Game & Fisheries Committee (on tv). Seems like now they want to increase the herd in northcentral PA. And try some new studies. Sounded like they went from reduce the herdto stabilize the herdto increase the herd.
WMU2G the pgc has got a lot of pressure from the state reps for overharvest of deer.
so, they give in a little and now the state reps WILL approve raise in fees etc so the pgc can raise their wages.
i hope everyone can see what is happening.
it has NOTHING to do with studies etc.
i like the first week to be no doe hunting but i feel reason is not what they are saying,its to GET STATE REPS ON THEIR SIDE FOR MORE MONEY.
as for habitat ,DCNR does not want deer,they hate them.
DCNR is taking over your sportsmens clubs too, yes,beware they are.
they are not dumb,only one they have not corrupted,so far is the USP.
get used to hunting not being the priority in future, its going to be HIKING TRAILS, CANOEING,BIRD WATCHING,ELK VIEWING..
when you go to your sportsmens club now,its half disguisedPETA people and 1/4 hikers/canoers etc/1/4 hunters.
hunting we are losing,for sure and its the lack of interest in hunting do to no small game/big game that will be reason..
they know this,that is why they are spending millions of your taxes on getting OTHER GROUPS interested in woods and hunting is not being supported.
look around lately at people standing in your sportsmens club,THEY ARE NOT HUNTERS,thats a fact.
