fastfire: I agree 100% the PGC is into up to their collective eyeballs and if they don't do something on DCNR land the DCNR will. But that doesn't mean the rest of the state must suffer because of it.
The PGC was once held in the highest esteem by most every hunter in Pa and also much of the nation. sadly that Dept. has allowed their prestige to slip and decay to a point not even a majority of hunters in Pa thinks they are doing as much as even a fair job today.
I agree it is going to get much worse! Those without private land connections in the next few years will have no place worth buying a hunting lisc. to hunt on. This is at a time when hunter recruitment already is at a low point.
God bless what is left of the wildlife in Pa, if it wasn't for the turkeys( thanks to the NWTF and the elk RMEF) I can't think of a single animal that the PGC has managed well by themselves here in the last 20 yrs.
