Glad this has been recognized in PA.  Its like being empaled at both ends - the

As usual, the state picks up the blame.  I've been hooked for providing lists
and hooked for not having lists - very often by the same hooker 'cept on
different days.

Most state game agencies are separate from forestry but the trees are managed
by the forestry agency.

Good comments Ron and food for thought.
