We all need to remember that the forest industry "tolerates" us because they need us to help control the deer. If we don't cooperate and help keep the deer under control to the point that the desirable timber can regenerate, they will eventually find a way to control the deer without us and we hunters could well find ourselves shut out of the vast property holdings to which we currently enjoy free and easy access.
Exactly! Now you are seeing what tyhe money can do in PA! Look at the politicians, it's all about the money, hunters are very low on that totem as we have no concerted/or solidarity of voice that will MAKE a difference in PA. It is split by these small hunting Orgs all trying to do what is best for there members rightor wrong , but ultimately being so weak they have no muscle to push any change into happening. What needs to be done IMO is pick one small project that the orgs and 900K + hunters could agree on (I know I'm dreaming) and ram it threw thew legislature, ram it down the PGC throats to show them what a roused special interest group can do when banded together. That scares politicians, the fact that someone can organize and make it happen. The you have a voice that 'has' to heard and listened to in PA>
