I knew about newts I was making a point...if the PGC was run correctly; by management the MAJORITY of hunters elect onto the BOC ,maybe just maybe all the ecoweenie programs and old growth forests that Roe loves so dearly would get the attention they deserve. case/point at a time when deer management should be first in the minds of anyone remotely attached to the BOC we're fretting over brown bats...OH bats are cute in their mother's eye and do have their niche BUT everything in it's rank. Don't spout off about Bat programs and such an ask for the public's imput to detract from the deer problems when you don't have any interest in listening to what the majority of your funding base has to say about it...much like CAC

All that $ in reserve yet we lack any data on the results of AR, and WMI said available herd health data was insufficient to date. ??????? Why won't they ante up and pay for more research, esp if they think it would vindicate their management goals? Are they afraid it wouldn't? If they are "understaffed" they could subcontract the work to WMI (I'm starting to like their work...) Bet you can do a lot of research for $40 million, considering the whole deer audit only cost around $100,000.

LOL...if her nursing home is in NC PA it might just be overrun with coyotes! That's hilarious! (But I'm sad to hear it sounds like she's suffering from dementia or Alsheimers associated with her age. That's unfortunate, but she must be a tough ol' gal to make it to 103!)

"if the PGC was doing so well they wouldn't be cutting so many programs, running understaffed, and nursing along old equipment like they are."
They simply would like to have more money now so they can look into the details of their new "tool" contraception use, more spending for their biodiversity extreme wildlife action plan to be implemented, and want to quadruple the efforts of public brainwashing so they can try to get support that currently doesnt exist for the failed deer plan.
" Give them a license increase. It's time. "

I'd say the PGC is finally making an attempt to responsibly manage the state. For the last half of the last century they fouled it up. You like to talk about Trillium, that is one of the many plants that is finally coming back in the PA forests. And tree seedlings are growing.
