In today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, there is a correction. Outdoors notebook: Hunting an option for Mt. Lebanon deer control
sounds very much like:
Do you suppose 9:39 AM from Lebo neighborhood has taken matters into their own hands and said:
The "good" news is now the PG is telling everyone that you can use any type of firearm on your property. Castle Shannon, Scott, Greentree, do you hear that? It isn't just in Mt. Lebanon. It is anywhere in the state. Feeling safe?
On the Tuesday, January 13 Discussion Session Agenda, there will be a thirty minute discussion on deer management.
Since the Chief and the PA Game Commission are advocating private hunting, I would like to see the $68,000 from the 2015 Budget and $12,000 from the 2014 Budget allocated for deer management removed and put into infrastructure. We should thank Kristen Linfante for dropping this bomb on us at the January 5 Discussion Session. We don't need funding anymore for deer management. Neighborhoods are taking matters into their own hands. Kristen, I know you wanted $100,000 set aside in the Budget for deer management. Thank you for being resourceful and finding a way to kill all of your deer for free.
First, a correction. Mt. Lebanon's proposed Deer Management Archery Program on public properties -- suspended when Wildlife Management Unit 2B antlerless allocations sold out prior to the hunt -- included a provision stating, "Before an archer can harvest an antlered deer, he/she must harvest at least one antlerless deer." A December story wrongly stated that rule did not exist.I am surprised that the troll cop from 9:16 PM who wrote this:
Also, Fraasch is incorrect about the need to seek Game Commission approval to hunt on private property.
sounds very much like:
"That's absolutely correct," said Mt. Lebanon police chief Coleman McDonough. "The Game Commission is accurate. If nobody is violating state game laws, hunting on private property is legal."
Do you suppose 9:39 AM from Lebo neighborhood has taken matters into their own hands and said:
Ok If you get it then stop whining about it. Also, before you or others get any ideas, It is specifically unlawful for anyone to interfere with or hinder a legal hunter while he or she is hunting.And said:
The aformentioned law is what is to stop you.knows Chief McDonough? Why didn't 9:16/9:39 troll cop correct the PG when they made that statement?
The "good" news is now the PG is telling everyone that you can use any type of firearm on your property. Castle Shannon, Scott, Greentree, do you hear that? It isn't just in Mt. Lebanon. It is anywhere in the state. Feeling safe?
On the Tuesday, January 13 Discussion Session Agenda, there will be a thirty minute discussion on deer management.
6:30 P.M.I hope this will bring residents to the meeting. I don't know what else will.
