Penn State's view of PGC deer management.

[Adam Helmer]

fabsroman,

The PGC is a separate and private entity. The state provides no funds; the PGC gets its revenue from hunting licenses, timber sales and coal and gas leases.

That sounds like the stupidest thing I have ever heard. A private entity is in charge of enforcing the game laws and managing the state resources. Sheer stupidity if you ask me. I just find it hard to believe that a state would be that stupid. Is there any governmental oversight of the PGC? Why would the PGC care about the long term sustainability of the state's natural resources? Most people/companies cannot plan for next year, let along generations. I would say I am speachless, but as you can see I have plenty to say about this. Maybe disgusted. Might use a lot of 4 letter words to describe how I feel about your situation. At the end of the day, I think this is a PA government issue. How did it ever come to be that a private entity was put in place to determine game laws, etc.?
