And who should know the answer better than a Game Warden? And what kind of answer do you get??? Some smart @ss remark. Typical Game Warden response. I wonder if he responds like that to his superiors? Sounds like someone needs a crash course in how to deal with the public. First off I am not a Game Warden, Second I am here on my own time as a private individual. And last but not least, The bear program is well documented and for anybody that really wanted an answer its there. Boy are you wrong!!! You are a Game warden. What Wildlife have you and your lot conserved? You may be here on your own time, but you most certainly do represent the Game Commission. The fact is you represent the Game Commission 24 hours of every day you're employed as an officer of the PGC. What's the name and e-mail address of your Regional Director so I can pass this along to him? I'll bet he has a differet view.

Do we ban the killing of fawns in this state?
Since the early 1980's, when the cub ban was lifted, our bear harvest has gone from probably 400 animals per year to close to 4000 per year.
Does that sound like the population was harmed? I don't think so.
The fact is this, cubs were being shot and left in the woods prior to the lifting of the ban, so, they were being killed anyway. This just legalized it and allowed them to be documented and data gathered.

This just legalized it and allowed them to be documented and data gathered. Plenty of fawns and mistake killed deer are shot and left in the woods. Think we should legalize that too (you know--for the science)?

But, if our harvest has gone from a few hundred to 3500-4000 per year, how has the cub harvest harmed the population? It hasn't. We have an expanding population of bears which the PGC is trying to control in some areas with longer seasons.

We have an expanding population of bears which the PGC is trying to control in some areas with longer seasons. So, here we have another program managed by the science minded biologists in the PGC that is out of control. Let's see, Deer is short supply in the Northern Tier and in great over abundance in the S.E., and an over population in many areas of the state. Bears in a state of over population to the extent where you can't put out a bird feeder because of the bears and we frequently read about bears wandering into our cities and towns. Just for kicks, what is the road kill number of bears in recent years as opposed to what they were 10 years ago? The PGC must have those figures.
