HA!!!!!!!! They sure are good at patting themselves on the back. Perhaps their current spokesperson should talk to the WCOs in the northern tier counties and see how folks REALLY feel. My hunting partner as of this morning has seen his 7th bear in as many locations since opening day of spring gobbler season. I'm up to number 5 in as many locations during said season, and I missed close to 2 weeks of hunting. There's to damned many.

But they kill their fair share of fawns ,so that makes them a preferred species. I'd be willing to bet that if they made bear season run with the concurrent deer season that would thin the population.

Rare words indeed these days when it comes to critters in PA;)

It must be Gary Alts fault!!;)

RE: Got A Pa Bear Today
 

Make it 8 bears on the spring season for me. Seen a sow and 2 cubs last night while roosting gobblers and was treated to a great show with mom putting the cubs in a tree. Still to damned many.

Gary Alt is where he belongs now. Let's just wish him a happy life amoungst the eco-terrorists, thePink Teamand the liberals and forget he ever lived in Pa.

Did they let you keep the bear?

RE: Got A Pa Bear Today
 

They wanted $100 from me if I wanted to keep the bear. Instead, the bear was loaded on the PGC vehicle and taken to the game dump on SGLs 208.

Why do you need to pay them? Is it their position that the bear is property of the PA Game Commision? Well, then I think they should be paying your deductable. Right? Ask them to pay or go to court.

RE: Got A Pa Bear Today
 

Well, it sounds reasonable. But to go to court, I'd spend well over my $500 deductible in legal fees and representation. I think I'll just take the loss and continue on with my belief that the PGC can go to he11 for all I care.
