Legislative Issues Update on Recommendations and Proposed Legislation Concerning the Use of the PA Game Lands The PA Game commission is preparing a report that will make recommendations for non-hunting use of PA game lands. For a full description of the recommendations visit this site: http://sites.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/PGC/landmgt/landuse/index.htm The recommendations must receive final approval at the next meeting of the Pennsylvania Game Commission Board of Commissioners some time in March or April. If approved, the use of horseback riding, recreational snowmobiling, and recreational mountain biking will be permitted on State Game Lands all year long - even during hunting season. The Game Commission is now accepting comments. Please make your voice heard. Additionally, some members of the Pennsylvania House of Representative want to take away the Game Commission's Board of Commissioners authority to approve SGL usage. They have introduced legislation to have an Independent Regulatory Review Commission approve State Game Lands regulations to allow secondary usage. HB 2181 will make the Game Commission regulations regarding activities of non-hunters on game lands subject to outside review. Any rules made by the Game Commission would go to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission after the Game commission approves them.

Wildlife and Recreation as a Farm and Ranch Business Wildlife and Recreation should be considered as part of the normal agricultural operation. Much wildlife, born and raised on private lands, is enjoyed by landowners and recreationists. However, the association between farmers, ranchers, recreationists, and wildlife has not been as positive as it could be. Some landowners treat wildlife and recreationists as assets, while others consider them a liability. Wildlife Wildlife are part of the ranching business, no matter how one looks at it. Landowners can manage private lands by tolerating wildlife, by making claims for damage payments or by planning for wildlife as a part of normal operations. Wildlife provide recreational opportunities and a cash flow potential without additional investments or out-of-pocket cash expenditures. However, wildlife have a cost to landowners either directly through forage used by wildlife or indirectly through time and efforts associated with managing hunters. Landowners manage hunters indirectly, regardless of the system, either by allowing access, closing and patrolling land or charging an access fee. The combination of wildlife presence and good hunting possibilities can mean good business for landowners.
