Another Pa GC failure as they watched them wink out. But look at the good side....They are the keeper of Eagles and other raptors. While introducing Fishers and Martins. I suspect they are a little hard on Grouse being hatched. Along with putting out videos on how to field dress a Deer. While putting in a plug you shouldn't use lead bullets.

Very few on the left...and the Pa GC is infiltrated with them....are pro hunting.
Same situation here in NY. I flushed one grouse last season. I see several fishers every season and tracks everywhere. Of course the fishers are protected and you aren't supposed to shoot them.
