Wow,lot's of insanity.First of all,the original thread was about two different things.One,groups trying to call themselves professionals.These guys are doing what they have to do to get on to land that has very limited access.Cheesy?Maybe,but not illiegaland they must obey all laws.They also don't get depredation permits to use whenever,because Pa doesn't have such a thing.

The second topic was hired sharpshooters.In many cases,hunters simply can't get the job done do to a variety of reasons.In this case,they can apply to have shapshooters come in and kill deer.This is done at night,over bait and usually with the use of a silenced rifle.This is population control.Don't confuse it with hunting and don't confuse it with what local bowhunting organizations are doing.

There are many many areas of Pa that had way too many deer for way too long.The evidence is overwhelming and indisputable.

The PGC never released any mountain lions?Why not?They would lose their Pittman Robertson funds is they did so.No state is that stupid and no state would put a tag or tatoo on an animal as to guarantee they got caught.That's pure B.S.If pa has mountain lions,they know how to fly because they never make any tracks.A dozen mountain lions would certainly make tracks.Sorry,but the story is B.S and the person that started it is a liar.

This thread was filled with 11 pages of mistruths and nonsense.
