    I guess we are fortunate that he doesn't have a degree in biology (PETA) like in other states.

    Basically an introduction to the new director and finding out what he's about. No exciting news being released or anything like that. Hopefully the complete end of the ban on Sunday hunting will happen during his tenure.

    We were able to secure hunting privileges on Tioga county private land and hunting state land for over 35 years of non resident hunting. I believe our respect for the land and leaving the rental in pre rental condition has caused the owners to rethink their no hunting policy. Thanks to the commission’s actions has kept us coming back for 42 years.🦌🏹

    I didn't hear anything I'm interested in. You didn't talk about recruiting young hunters. You didn't talk about losing senior hunters because they are disappointed in the lack of opportunities at deer. Deer is the reason people hunt and traditionally for deer sausage at Christmas time to celebrate the hunt. You didn't talk about the introduction of predator species which as hunters we do not want because they are in competition with us trying to get deer or turkey. The NWTF worked their butts off to reestablish birds and you stock fishers and martins like a bunch of dumb effs. Your game wardens are always in investigation mode and have no interest in a pleasant conversation with us in the field. We don't need people breathing down our necks acting like Nazi's saying show me your papers.when we are doing nothing wrong. Go to he ll!

      if a bunch of dumb effs didn't upset the balance!

People are killing your stockings of predators to fight your stupidity. If you guys were hunters instead of communists you would understand. Bidon loving union people in Pa. destroying the good life so you lose hunters. When the deer are completely gone you'll want to stock mountain lions so they attack people just like the commies in California.

      The deer population is larger then it ever has been before if your struggling filling tags on private or public pa land then it's you and the turkey population is effect more by a oversized whitetail population then and small preditor population

      Sunday should be closed to hunting.
      This gives non-hunting people at least one day to enjoy the state game lands without the risk of being shot!

      @@KeystoneInvestigations That's just silly. There is no greater chance of those people getting shot than another hunter. People in other states have no issue using that land during the season and there is no massive number of accidental shootings. The only other people I see in the woods during December are other hunters.

      There signs at the game lands that say this land has been purchased with funds from hunting liscence sales. plain and simple you want to do other stuff there you need to deal with the hunters you don't go to someone's house as a guest and tell them what there aloud to eat infront of you. Then why would you come to the game lands and expect the people paying for it to not use it whenever they can.

    An excellent presentation. I'm sure Mr. Steve Smith will be a great asset to the PA Game Commission and looking
    forward to his improvements for the commission and the commonwealth.

      Why? I think it's great. Most people are off of work and can go out in the woods as a family. Coming from other states, I saw this as silly as the lack of beer sales on Sundays. They finally fixed that as well.

Now they are all pissed off because dad went hunting. Thanks alot. No more saturday or sunday to sight in your rifle. You haven't digested your turkey yet and you're walking through the woods in the dark feeling like sh it p issed off because you p issed off your kids and wife for a hike to see no deer.. Sooooo traditional now ain't it.
