I can ask anybody what Alt did for the bears and they won't know. Gary Alt was a fraud. Alt ran around darting bears in the butt having a good old time on hunters money. As far as I know, He did not change any seasons or limits on bear when he was in charge. Alt did accept credit for the increase in bear population, which was spilling over from New Jersey and increasing because of the housing going up in the Poconos area. Gary Alt, there is a name you don't hear any more, and that is a good thing.
alt has forestry background.that is where he came from not deer background.his job was to PUSH THE AGENDA TO REDUCE DEER TO VERY LOW NUMBERS.the small groups that have influence in harrisburg,pa are behind this.your AUDOBON,NATURES CONSERVANCY,QDMA,FOREST CERTIFICATION THING,DCNR,PGC ,CERTAIN SPORTSMANS CLUBS ARE BEHIND THIS.
look at list of people that started all this.very few if any are hunters.all hand picked by certain groups with INFLUENCE in harrisburg,pa.
it goes right back to MONEY.forest certification the politicians feel will increase the price of timber.that is what is behind it.no doubt in my mind that insurance co. were complaining also about the deer in meetings with their reps.
