Comment on TPWD to Consider Sweeping Deer Hunting Regulation Changes by man hunter

man hunter — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:28:22 +0000

blocke…thrill of the kill! Sitting at a deer blind, bating an animal is not hunting. Using terms like harvest and antlerless deer is marketing.

I will agree that our youth need to learn skill sets but not at the expense of an animal. Sitting at a feeder and then taking a shot is NOT hunting!! Tracking, staying upwind etc.. are skills aquired and should be learned first. Target practice– skeet, disc etc… could provide challenging moving targets. Hunting in game preserves should be illegal because the animals have no flight response. Remember what goes around comes around……man hunter!

They speak of the economics of deer hunting. Can you imagan if we were able to hunt on Sundays like almost every other state in the Union….They complain
the herd is to big well when guys are working OT on Saturdays there not hunting
therefore not spending dollars for Food , Lodging and all the nessities need to hunt. Pa needs to get into the game and learn from states like SD and NC.

Yes, but how will they make up for this loss of–much needed–money! I mean, Fish And Game is already strapped, right? And don’t we want them out there restoring wetlands, doing trawl surveys and improving delta water quality?

My 9 year old little sister shoot a huge 10 pointer during the 09 youth season at 300 yards with my mossburg 270 bolt action and then she had to shoot it 2 more times when we get up to the big brute why did it take 3 shots form a 270 to kill this deer.

Comment on CA DFG Fish Stocking Program Will Continue Following Court Order by James

James — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 02:51:38 +0000

I recently recieved a 100 dollar plus citation for the crime of fishing with worms in a delayed harvest zone. The warden admitted that the zone notice was hard to see,and he in fact lowered the total charge price since in fact I was merrly food fishing and was only in possesion of about 8 bream fish.Now do not get me wrong, I understand that outdoorsmen need to abide by ceartain sensible regulations in order to assure the survival and or durability of fish and game populations which all outdoorsmen depend upon. I also understand that financial resources are needed in order to maintain stocking programs,pay for the maintainance of public lands,trails and the continuation of sound natural resource management practices.Now having said this I insist that it is absolutely absurd,immoral and should be crimminal for Fish and Game agencies to mannage the gifts of nature as if those gifts were man-made commodities whose primary purpose or reason for existance does not extend beyond the purly economic.I argue that when fishing with natural fishbait,''worms'' in any given natural waterway can be considered and or treated as a crime,it is more than obvious that our natural resources are in fact not being mannaged as such,but in fact are being mannaged as economic resources for the benifit of not the general public,but for the convienience of the wealthier segments of our scociety. There is something very wrong when people who are simply attempting to enjoy the blessings of our natural world by engaging in activities'' which were free for tens of thousands of years'' can be forced to pay not only for the right to engage in those activities,but also be forced to pay extra taxes''think trout stamps'' as well as arbitrary fines and fees,even for activities that are in no way detrimental to enviromental well being or to the rights of others seeking to enjoy nature.I argue that the enities who are in fact responcible for the damage inflicted upon our natural resources should be the enities which arbitrarly pay for the maintainance of the remaining undestroyed resources and when possible the rehabilitation of damaged resources.Why on earth should a fisherman be subject to enourmous fines,'' even for fishing with worms''while mining companies,logging interests and even second home developers are allowed to destroy entire trout streams,clearcut wildlife habbitat and often cause land previously available for public use to be enclosed and lost to the public,often without even the slightest of legal reprimend ? I suppose I should not complain ,after all I am only a criminal caught redhanded fishing with real fishbait ! I suppose that as long as we have people in this country who believe that it is possible to be free,'' even when a tax is placed upon the enjoyment of nature'' things will not get any better.

Comment on Insect-Borne Virus Found in Delaware White-Tailed Deer by Amy

EHD is not also known as Bluetongue. They are two separate diseases, caused by different viruses. They may look similar symptomatically, but please do not confuse your readers! In the future, please research your material before you post it on the internet.

Comment on Pennsylvania Game Commission Deer Management Program Continues to Earn Praise From Scientific Community by ralphie

ralphie — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:01:54 +0000

This is “praise” of a single insignificant study. A very basic study which has already been done in other states and should have been done here long ago. study has nothing to do with the problems of widescale slaughtering of the herd to appease environmentalist whackos who want to “restructure” our forest composition to meet their deluded standards.

This isnt praise in support of the deer programs goals and methodology, as that praise does not exist.

Comment on Dungeness Crab Sport Fishing Season Opens Statewide in California Nov. 1 by SarahLee Flanagan

SarahLee Flanagan — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 16:18:02 +0000

Why does crab season start so late in California. Most other places It is with the months that have “R” in it meaning season runs from September to April.
When does California season end?? How many is a person allowed per day??
