PA Hardwoods.... I don' t think it' s instructor numbers that' s holding it up.... it' s administering it. We are not required to take the bowhunter Ed course in Maryland. We have lots of instructors and give the courses all over the state. If the State makes it mandatory they then go from the volunteer donated facilities to the paying for facilities and having to standardize them. For example, Len donates his shop space for classes. It probably wouldn' t meet the states standards for free air or lighting or some such silly thing. They' d have to find classrooms with handicaped ramps, proper lights, fire evacuation plans and on and on. Pa only gives the course in LARGE groups as I understand. That would make the facilities thing even more of a problem. They' d have to make it available across the state with enough frequency to allow all to take it. I think it' s not mandatory due to lobbyist, politicians and the fact you have to take the REGULAR hunter safety before you can hunt.
