General recreation is defined as all non-commercial/non-concentrated recreational activities except trapping, cutting or gathering wood, collecting valuable rocks or minerals, mining, or collecting or disturbing historical, archaeological or paleontological sites or specimens. These activities require a separate license or other authorization from DNRC. Commercial activities (such as outfitting), and/or concentrated recreational activities conducted by organizations or other groups require a Special Recreational Use License.

With almost 400 square miles of rural country and 39 miles of scenic river meandering through our county, wildlife enthusiasts would be hard pressed to find a better place to behold. Many farmers within the county cooperate with the Pennsylvania Game Commission by permitting hunting and trapping on their land. All one needs to do is ask these generous, hard-working people, and chances are pretty good that they will allow you to hunt or trap. There are almost l00 cooperating farms in the county, with close to 20,000 acres available to the sportsman. Most of these farms are stocked with pheasants each fall by the Game Commission. Wyoming County also has one of several Forest-Game Projects within the State. The Pennsylvania Electric Co. and the Game Commission have a mutual agreement to keep approximately l,350 acres of land open to sportsmen in Windham and Mehoopany townships. This is a beautiful area containing forest, farmland, beaver ponds and some Susquehanna River watershed. Most of State Game Lands No. 57 is in Wyoming County. It is the second largest tract of the State Game Lands in Pennsylvania. This large Game Lands comprises over 40,000 acres and is located in Forkston, Noxen and North Branch Townships in Wyoming County and Lake, Fairmont and Ross Townships in Luzerne County. This adjoins State No. l3, located in Sullivan County with 49,528 acres (largest in the entire state) and State Game Lands No. 66 in Sullivan County with 7,909 acres to comprise more than 97,000 acres of contiguous State Game Lands, by far the largest in the entire state.

The current slate of proposals is the biggest set of changes to Virginia game regulations offered in some time. Some of the regulation changes would be effective in the upcoming fall hunting season, while others would become law in July, 2004. The VDGIF proposes changes to wildlife game regulations on odd-numbered years, and regulations changes are adopted biennially. Citizens are allowed to comment on all proposals at a series of public meetings held around the state. Comments are also taken online and may be submitted in writing. The citizen comment period ends on May 1. Here is a summary of regulation changes that would affect Rockbridge County sportsmen in the fall of 2003. DEER: Opening of the general firearms and muzzleloading deer seasons would move from the traditional second and third Mondays in November to the Saturdays prior to those Mondays. This would replace the last Saturday of early muzzleloading deer season with the general season opener. It would also create three hunting Saturdays in the general deer season as opposed to the current two.

Extractions: Game Lands Use Recommendations Ad Hoc Committee and HB 2181 A Special Report of the ACSL Game Committee A controversy is brewing in Pennsylvania over whether the Pennsylvania Game Commission should, or can, open State Game Lands to horse back riders, Mountain Biking, and Snowmobiling. The Game Commission wants to open the lands to limited usage, and some member of the Board of Commission may be in agreement. However, several members of the General Assembly, and the alternate users, want them opened unrestricted, all year round. The ACSL believes both plans are unacceptable because they violate state and federal law, and would make the Game Commission ineligible for Federal Wildlife Restoration Act funding totaling millions of dollars a year. A funding loss that the Game Commission has admitted that they could never recover from. The Game Commission disagrees with that interpretation, and wants to move forward with limited usage regulations. It is apparent that this Administration and the Republican Leadership want State Game Lands open to other activities no matter what adverse impact such usage will have on hunting.

Extractions: The shooting or discharge of firearms is generally permitted on any public lands in the California Desert Conservation Area (CDCA), as long as such activity is permitted by State and local laws. Recreational shooting and "plinking" are not allowed in National Park Service managed areas. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. IF IN DOUBT, ASK. WHEN SHOOTING: Always check with local authorities(County Sheriff or State Game Warden) on shooting laws that apply. Always select a safe location for your target practice. A spot with a large mound directly behind the target is ideal. Avoid popular recreation areas and sensitive wildlife habitats. Always use paper targets mounted on wooden stakes. Do not attach targets to living plants. Never place targets up against rocks or solid objects, which can cause ricochets. Do not shoot at glass bottles or other refuse. Do not use exploding targets, they are fire hazards. Always pick up and remove targets and empty shells when you have finished. Shooting is prohibited within 1/2 mile of all campgrounds and developed recreation sites. Shooting should only take place in areas well away from other concentrations of people and property. WHEN HUNTING: All hunting in the desert is regulated by the California Department of Fish and Game. You must have a valid hunting license to hunt any game or wildlife.

Extractions: P ennsylvania A ll- T errain V ehicle C oalition C ouncil The PGC is not subject to public review. Recently they have decided to close Game Lands to recreation users. In order for recreation opportunities to be had on PA Game Lands which belong to the public, we must bring the PGC under public review. PATVCC agrees with the following IMBA (International Mountain Bicycling Association) statement: Whereas the IMBA respects the rich hunting heritage of Pennsylvania and supports hunting as the primary usage of the State Game Lands, we do not believe the Pennsylvania Game Commission should have the right to pass policy that restricts access to public lands with being subject to some form of oversight. The Regulatory Review Act and subsequent committee was developed to ensure that all citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania were governed fairly. The IMBA believes that support of Bill 2181 will extend this protection to all outdoor enthusiasts by ensuring fair treatment on all public land access issues in Pennsylvania. Please read below the rationale, and the actual bill that has been proposed.

On behalf of our members and our Board of Directors, I would like to say that it is a pleasure and a privilege to work together with the dedicated personnel of the Pennsylvania Game Commission on issues affecting the conservation of our valuable wildlife resources. The professional biologists, land managers and law enforcement officers of the Game Commission continue to do an outstanding job of managing wild turkeys and the other wildlife of the Commonwealth and we would like to compliment them on their work. Thank you for the chance to comment on proposed changes to regulations affecting hunting seasons, bag limits and public use of State Game Lands. We have reviewed the agenda items and proposals affecting wild turkey hunting opportunities and the use of state game lands during the spring gobbler hunting season. The Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation agrees with the proposal to limit the use of non-motorized vehicles on state game lands between the second Saturday in April and the last Saturday in May. Our chapter commends the Commission for attempting to provide additional recreational opportunity to turkey hunters within the guidelines of the Wild Turkey Management Plan for Pennsylvania. The proposal to expand spring gobbler hunting hours is an example of forward-thinking on the part of the Game Commission. The Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation supports the proposal to allow spring gobbler hunting until 5:00 PM.

Largely undeveloped, big enough to get lost in, state forests contain most of the state's designated wild and natural areas. They also boast the largest variety of recreational uses. They allow backpacking with camp fires, hunting, fishing and picnicking. There are 4,740 miles of trails dedicated for hiking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, all-terrain vehicles and mountain bikes. But the number one use: sightseeing. The 2,500 miles of roads traverse some of Pennsylvania's most gorgeous and rugged scenery, including the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania and Mt. Davis, the state's highest point. Now, the state Bureau of Forestry is preparing a new master plan to decide how it will manage this vast and vital open space for the next 15 years, beginning in the year of the new millennium.

I can fish all year round and all of my favorite spots are less than 20 miles from my home. And unlike a lot of areas, the water in our lakes, rivers and streams is very clean and conducive to the growth of large, healthy fish." While there are many great places to fish, such as
