<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>I do agree with what you say about management areas and public land, but there is nothing the state can do about privately owned land.

..and there in lies the problem. The area of PA that Cardeer and I live in is so lacking in terms of public hunting land that it is usually packed with hunters. So, what happens then? The deer just mosey (spelling?) over onto the private land where hunting isn't allowed....regardless of why it isn't allowed it is still the same scenario. More landowners need to work with the game commission to open their land to responsible hunters. The Game Commission has a co-op program called "Link" that is supposed to hook up hunters with landowners. The last time I checked there were "zero" landowners in my area signed up.
The road goes both ways.
