RE: be praise pa Game Comm
Deaddeer: As I recall it was the biologists from the PGC that said turkeys needed big woods to survive. saying that farmland would not support turkeys.
IT WAS the NWTF that brought the turkey levels to where they are today in that farmland. and it was NWTF $$ that did it not the PGC although the PGC took the credit for it.
same as with the elk and thr RMEF, what were left of the elk in Pa 200 maybe 250 animals not that very long ago? Look what the RMEF did with habitat, fencing,etc. now we have a hunting season every year..but the good old PGC is trying to steal the thunder there too!
what we need is for Pheasants Forever or a similar org to come in an take over the pheasnt program from the PGC rather than spending $20+ each on stocking pen reared birds for the hawks an 'yotes to dine on
