"This is certainly an exception rather then the rule. This was one of the few areas where the Game Commission owns the minerals."

And it doesnt take a large percentage ofthe vast acreage of gamelands in our state for a substantial penny to be made.

"The Game Commission can’t stop them from going in an taking their timber, their gas or their coal and they don’t have to pay the Game Commission anything to do so, other then sometimes they have to pay some surface damage if we do own the trees."

Its ashame ALL the gamelands werent that way. Then maybe pgc would worry less about timbermoney, more about habitat, andappropriate amounts of cutting would be done, and not solely dicatated by the timber market and the rediculous 1% goal.
