We have alot of concerns in PA regarding hunting.
1-falling number of hunters
In these changing times I don't see anything bucking this trend
2-deer management
There are definately some problems here,the system needs changed.DCNR and penn state are both doing counts and studies so hopefully this is a step in the right direction.I think the infared count in 2g will shed some light on what hunters are reporting.
3-PGC's shortfall in the budget
Hopefully get back on track with the timbering program.We also need to fight against the ultra environmentalists in their agenda to stop timbering.Lots of pressure from these people.
I personally would accept a license increase because I still think hunting in PA is a good deal.But only if they get back and stay on track with their revenues from timber.We get the best of two worlds with this.Better habitat and of course monies generated.
4-USP-While I agree with some things you guys are saying about deer management I also don't understand why you are against everything the PGC does?This agency is our best bet for the future of hunting.The option is the DCNR,Rendell,and his flower sniffing supporters.Look no farther then NJ.Give them credit where credit is due and not fight them in every step they take.
