In reply to the discussion: Vote scheduled to ban all hiking in PA. Game Lands for 130 DAYS per year [View all]Jagar123
(3 posts)The ban was a nice thought. Like most new laws it has holes. I believe the intentions of the game commission was to force the majority outdoor enthuses (that don't hunt) to take the hunter safety course . This would help to stop the meaningless confrontations between hunters and other groups.
It was cheaper to get a lincense than the permit. So who wouldn't go that way. After taking the hunter safety course all would understand why the safety of all is continuously stressed. Giving clarity to out of the hunting box groups. They now would understand we are watching out for other hunters, and hikers at all times. Of course their are extremist in all groups which thankfully is usually a small minority. I would like to put them all in a small room together for ever. These folks in all groups will always fight with others, you can't change it. But, the large majority of us are level headed. And it was about safety over all. The game wardens have really earned the title PEACE KEEPER! This has become one of their top roles between hunters, bicyclers, horse backers, hikers, and so on.
Thats not right, one of the wardens main job is babysitting the children that can't share and be courteous to each others. What a shame..
I recently had a run into a game warden where I was at fault. They are outstanding individuals and some of the best outdoor enthuses you will ever encounter. After excepting my dues, i am still always at awe in a professional manner. I talk to several a year and always find them outstanding. A credit to our society. Maybe they should run our state. They saved their departments and in doing so are growing in many ways, but land. Imagine if they would have been in charge of the states finances, and would have had control of all public land at the time. Heck we might have been getting a check from our state just like Alaska does..lol..
And as a outdoor enthuses I think these dedicated men and women have been outstanding and a cut above all of us..
How would you like that role.. Adult babysitters.
Now where the game commission tried to keep the peace. Once again the politicians don't care.
Here I go.
The game commission was pretty close to broke a few years back and our politicians did nothing.
(if gone we will sell the land for condos! lol ,, and grab the cash)
Yet the individuals in the game commission after beating their head against walls, on how to keep their jobs and over all department afloat. Came up with let's, let them frack on the lands. They went to the politicians that where like whatever , you pain in my side organization . Do it go away.
So the game commission made a great investment on a good idea at possibly the high of fracking.
They saved our Game lands, their jobs and so on.
Well, where there is money there is crooks trying to take it.
Instead of opening all public land to franking, allowing Pennsylvania to reap the rewards, they never got the point of the game commission. Shame on them!
Also they didn't understand how much $ would becoming.
Not until the game commission that has understood there are more hunters ,it is growing and they now have the funds to purchase more land for all people to enjoy. MORE!!!
The problem was, a law only allowing them to purchase land for way under fair rates..
So they went and asked the politicians, could you raise or lift that law..
We can improve the outdoor activity situation..
Are you seeing the light yet...
Politician-----you have money!!!!!!!!!!
Ok get rid of the game commission collect their money .... F the people
That's you too.. The biker, hiker, horse backer, climber , hunter, all of us..
Stir up these organizations against each other .. Let's get them fighting..
NO IT'S TIME TO UNITE.
Wake up!!!
Now that's the cat out of the bag!!!!!
Ask yourself, outdoor folks, where is the money from public land franking gone?
Have you seen new trails or land bought, ya!!!! What a kick in your teeth..
I the hunter know where mine is going. The game commission keeps us informed---
(Habitat improvement, more pheasants, so on) jobs created
Does your politician do that for you the hiker, biker, and so on????
They not only would steal the money they could careless about the land. The land would go next seeing it's worth a real fortune.
WAKE UP AND SHAKE HANDS with OTHER OUTDOORS MEN! LOOK EACH OTHER IN THE EYES AND UNITE FOR THE GOOD OF ALL.
GATHER AND VOTE FOR THE GOOD ONES. OH GOOD LUCK!
For the minority nuts in each group. Please Don't attack me I exercise my rights to do as many activities outside that we the people can come up with. I love what's been giving to us.. Life!
