What A Hoot
We are 10 days into the concurrent season ,so what is the lastest press release from the PGC?
2008 Press Releases Search Pennsylvania Game Commission - State Wildlife Management Agency Home Back Printable Version Release #141-08 GAME COMMISSION URGES PARTICIPATION IN CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania Game Commission officials are urging wildlife enthusiasts to join the tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the United States in the Audubon Society’s 109th Annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC), which will take place Dec. 14 through Jan. 5. “Bird enthusiasts, armed with binoculars, bird guides and checklists, will head out on an annual mission - often before dawn - to make a difference and to experience the beauty of creation,” said Dan Brauning, Game Commission Wildlife Diversity Section supervisor. “Each year, volunteers brave snow, wind, or rain, to take part in the Christmas Bird Count, and they have made an enormous contribution to conservation to help guide conservation actions. “The data collected through this effort – which is the longest-running wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations – allows researchers, conservation biologists, and other interested individuals to study the long-term health and status of bird populations across North America. When combined with other surveys such as the Breeding Bird Survey, it provides a picture of how the continent's bird populations have changed in time and space over the past hundred years.” |

RE: What A Hoot
Looking forward to it.
Got a hunting spot adjoining an Audubon property. My buddy and I usually get some decent action on the weekends thanks tothe birdwatchers and their unintentionaldeer drives! |
RE: What A Hoot
Are you saying a great white hunter like you needs to rely on tweety birders to drive deer to you? If you support the PGC plan you should be out there with the tweety birders counting nuthatches, titmice and yellow shafted flickers.

ORIGINAL: White-tail-deer BB2 you are the great agitator, you love stiring the pot. LOL!![8D] The archives of posts from Deaddeer, ddear, deerfly and his many other aliases show a similar pattern this time of year. Maybe if we all do our best to be on the lookout for a crippled buck (car accident, shot, caught in a fence, doesnt matter). We could direct old Larry to the spot and he could shoot it and be a happy managain even if only for a short while. |

Anyone who doesnt already know that pgc and the deer plan have been guided by tree huggers for the last several years has their head in a very dark place.;) These biodiversity nuts should stick to their bird watching and stay the **** outta deer management.

RE: What A Hoot
Funny stuff about pgc advertising for audubons birdwatching forays. A much more benign act than when they dictate our wildlife management;

RE: What A Hoot
I donno bluebird, maybe we outta join the christmas bird count. Would give us a few possible courses of action that we could find enjoyable. When they ask how many birds we saw, we could hold up ONE particular finger (LOL) or we could say about 20 times what we actually saw to prevent the clowns from blaming too few birds on too many deer, just as they do already on a continual basis.
I found this in another audubon article on the topic of the bird count you mentioned in original post. "Each of the citizen scientists who brave snow, wind, or rain, to take part in the Christmas Bird Count make an enormous contribution to conservation. Audubon and other organizations use data collected in this longest-running wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations - and to help guide conservation action." a dozenless birds this christmas and our allocations will rise by 5k per management unit! (LOL)[:'(] |
RE: What A Hoot
Personally , putting bird feeders on our stands has made being on stand much more enjoyable. It is interesting to observe the birds so close that you can feel the wind from their wings. It really makes the time fly in comparison and it's interesting to see how the feeding patterns change with the weather. Unfortunately I haven't made a correlation between bird feeding activity and deer sightings.
BTW, I am not participating in the count. I don't even like counting points on a buck to see if it's legal. |

DEER are not the the important thing in pa. its INSURANCE CO.LOGGING,DCNR AND NON HUNTING PUBLIC WHO WILL OUT SPEND ALL OF US. go and ask a hunter for donation, go ask a tree hugger for one.treehugger will give you a 20 dollar easy, hunter will pass can along or drop 1 dollar in.[:@] my sister is member of that PETA group, she spends a ton of money donating to their causes. this is reason, rich or well to do are not HUNTERS. they are bird watchers , hikers etc. they do DONATE to causes that are hurting us. |

But you knew that! You just forgot, huh? we spend it where it helps the local business etc. my CHEAP comment is when you pass around CAN to do something,MOST hunters will sneak out back door or not donate. heck, you should see members we lost when our club dues were raised up 2 dollars and they would not get a bag of corn,we lost ton of members. now dues is going to 15 dollars, i bet they will loose 500 members,want to bet.;) |
