Doug says;
"Can hunters also park in the parking area designated for the tweetie pavilion?"
Sure. But then hunter usage of any of the land was never brought into question by me or anyone else.

"The game lands are mandated to be managed for all wildlife species,not just deer.When you manage for game,such as grouse,other animals and birds also benefit.This is something the PGC has been mandated to do.It's not some new invasion of eco-terrorists."
You can make light of the issue all you like, but Audubon (and others of their ilk) is a player in our gamelands usage. They are also a HUGE player in the pgc deer mismanagement saga. Those things are undeniable. All anyone need to is take a second punch in audubon + deer management on yahoo or google. Or punch in Pa game commission + audubon society. Many days of reading can be found for someone so incline. Does their involvement go far past what is appropriate where deer management &/or gamelands usage is concerned? I guess we will agree to disagree. Because after studying these issues for quite some time, i have absolutely no doubts.


"I've never had any issues with any type of non-hunters on SGL's.I'm SURE IT'S DIFFERENT WHEN YOU GO TO OTHER AREAS OF THE STATE."
Ive given you examples and they arent limited to my area of the state. Do searches for Audubon special bird areas, and management strategies. Then look further into where they are located. Just one example of how they dictate at least some of the game lands management strategy.

The other issues you mention such as horseback rider and others very well COULD become an issue, since pgc asks "nonhunters" about what should be strictly hunter oriented input where our game lands are concerned. In fact with alternate funding, I think other user impact is almost a definate.
