ERIE MAN CITED FOR ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF WOLF-HYBRID

Richard Staub, 61, of Wattsburg, Erie County, recently was charged with
unlawful possession of a wolf-hybrid, which attacked a woman at Staub's house.
Pennsylvania Game Commission Wildlife Conservation Officer (WCO) Darin L. Clark
filed the charges in District Magistrate Susan Strohmeyer's Office in Erie on
June 3.

If convicted of the charge, which is a summary of the fifth degree, Staub faces
fines of between $75 and $200.

According to WCO Clark's investigation, the wolf-hybrid had been purchased in
Tennessee and illegally brought into Pennsylvania and illegally possessed for
nearly seven years by Staub's son, who has since moved away and left the wolf-
hybrid with his father.

Clark was made aware of the wolf-hybrid, which had been kept chained to a barn
on Staub's property, after it broke free and bit a woman retrieving her child,
who got away from her when she was attempting to put the child in a car seat.

"While state law permits Pennsylvanians to possess certain exotic animals,
including wolves, the law also requires that such individuals adhere to
specific permit and caging regulations established by the Game Commission to
ensure public health and safety, as well as the animal's health and welfare,"
Clark said. "The Game Commission also requires those individuals who would
like to own such exotic animals to provide a letter from their local
municipality stating that ownership of such exotic animals doesn't violate
local ordinances and to demonstrate at least two years of hands-on experience
with the type of animal that they intend to possess, under the supervision of a
licensed facility.

"There are hundreds of Pennsylvanians who legally possess exotic wildlife and
follow all the rules and regulations regarding public health and safety, as
well as the health and welfare of the animal. However, there also are those
who bring these types of animals into the state illegally and fail to follow
the regulations. This group causes us the greatest concern."

Pennsylvanians are encouraged to contact the nearest Game Commission region
office to report information about exotic wildlife that may be illegally
possessed or improperly caged. All information will be kept strictly
confidential.

Created in 1895 as an independent state agency, the Game Commission is
responsible for conserving and managing all wild birds and mammals in the
Commonwealth, establishing hunting seasons and bag limits, enforcing hunting
and trapping laws, and managing habitat on the 1.4 million acres of State Game
Lands it has purchased over the years with hunting and furtaking license
dollars to safeguard wildlife habitat. The agency also conducts numerous
wildlife conservation programs for schools, civic organizations and sportsmen's
clubs.

The Game Commission does not receive any general state taxpayer dollars for its
annual operating budget. The agency is funded by license sales revenues; the
state's share of the federal Pittman-Robertson program, which is an excise tax
collected through the sale of sporting arms and ammunition; and monies from the
sale of oil, gas, coal, timber and minerals derived from State Game Lands.

GAME COMMISSION BOARD TO MEET ON JUNE 25-26

The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners will be meeting June 25-26, at the
agency's Harrisburg headquarters, 2001 Elmerton Ave., just off the Progress
Avenue exit of Interstate 81. The meetings will begin at 8:30 a.m. both days.
To save money and provide greater public dissemination, an agenda for the
meeting will be posted on the website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) in the "Next
Commissioner's Meeting" box on the homepage when it is finalized.

On June 25, the Board will hear public comments and receive agency staff
reports and updates.

On June 26, the Board is scheduled to take official action to various agenda
items, including a regulatory change to permit the use of muzzleloading
firearms that are discharged by using an electronic pulse during the early
October muzzleloader season and other firearms deer season; and a regulatory
change to permit the use of illuminated nocks for arrows and bolts, which can
be affixed at the aft end of an arrow or bolt and aid in tracking or locating
the arrow or bolt after being launched.

A limited number of copies of the agenda will be made available to those who
attend the meeting on June 25 and 26.

Once the June meeting ends, copies of the June meeting minutes will be posted
on the website as soon as they are transcribed, which generally takes between
two to three weeks.

"By posting the minutes on the website we again will be cutting the costs of
printing and mailing copies of this document, and will reach a wider audience,"
said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director. "So, this will turn out
to be not only a cost-savings move, but also a move to make Game Commission
actions and decisions more accessible to the public."

Roe noted that the minutes for the Board's April meeting now are posted in the
"Reports/Minutes" section of the homepage.

Created in 1895 as an independent state agency, the Game Commission is
responsible for conserving and managing all wild birds and mammals in the
Commonwealth, establishing hunting seasons and bag limits, enforcing hunting

2007-08 HUNTING/FURTAKER LICENSES TO GO ON SALE

Beginning today, Pennsylvania resident and nonresident hunting and furtaker
licenses for the 2007-08 seasons will go on sale through "The Outdoor Shop" on
the Game Commission website (www.pgc.state.pa.us), according to Carl G. Roe,
agency executive director. Licenses also will be available over-the-counter at
all Game Commission region offices and the Harrisburg headquarters.

"The Game Commission has worked hard to implement new ways to better serve
license buyers," Roe said. "By allowing our customers to purchase their
hunting and furtaker licenses over the Internet, from the comfort and
convenience of their home or office, we are offering one more service to better
meet their needs."

Roe noted that hunting and furtaker licenses also will be available from the
nearly 850 issuing agents around the state beginning later in June.

GAME COMMISSION PRAISES SENATE PASSAGE OF READSHAW BILL TO AMEND LANDOWNER
LIABILITY LAW

Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe praised the state
Senate for its unanimous approval of House Bill 13, sponsored by Rep. Harry A.
Readshaw (D-Allegheny), which seeks to amend the state's landowner liability
law.

On June 26, the Senate voted 50-0 to send Readshaw's bill to Gov. Edward G.
Rendell's desk for his consideration. House Bill 13 previously was approved by
the House on May 23, by a vote of 199-0.

If the bill is signed by Gov. Rendell, the change in law will take effect
immediately.

PARR RETIRES AS GAME COMMISSION SOUTHCENTRAL REGION DIRECTOR

Pennsylvania Game Commission Southcentral Region Director Donald C. Parr Jr.
will retire effective today, June 29. Parr was named region director in
January of 2004, after having served as acting region director from April of
2003.

"Don Parr's knowledge of the game laws and the Southcentral Region made him an
outstanding region director," said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive
director. "We wish him well in retirement. And, while we certainly will miss
Don's service, we have no doubt that he will continue to share his commitment
to our state's wildlife resources and rich hunting and trapping heritage."

NEW YEAR UNDERWAY FOR MENTORED YOUTH HUNTING PROGRAM

Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today reminded
experienced hunters, who have historically helped pass along the state's rich
hunting heritage, that the new license year means another year to begin
introducing youths to hunting through the Mentored Youth Hunting Program
(MYHP).

"Pennsylvania's hunters have an remarkable opportunity to introduce those under
the age of 12 to hunting," Roe said. "Hunting is deeply woven into the
cultural fabric that is Pennsylvania, and it is important that we recruit new
hunters to carry on this tradition."

Roe noted that the logic behind the Mentored Youth Hunting Program is simple
and clear: create expanded youth hunting opportunities without compromising
safety afield.

GAME COMMISSION POSTS BEAR AGE DATA ON WEBSITE

Hunters who harvested a bear during the 2006 seasons can log onto the
Pennsylvania Game Commission's website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) to learn the age
of their bear.

"Last year, as a cost-cutting measure, the Game Commission announced it will no
longer mail a certificate and letter to successful bear hunters notifying them
of their bear's age," said Carl G. Roe, agency executive director. "However,
to maintain this valued customer service, we provided hunters with a
certificate at the check station when their bear was processed and announced
that we would be posting on our website the age data, which is determined by
examining a tooth from the bear that is extracted as part of the check station
processing."

Ages are available only for bears from which a tooth was pulled. To access the
data and learn the age of their bear, a hunter will need to have their legal
seal number from the check station certificate. If the hunter no longer has
the seal number, age data also is provided in charts broken down by county of
harvest.

In 2006, of the nearly 140,000 licensed bear hunters, 3,122 bears were
harvested and taken to check stations.

Created in 1895 as an independent state agency, the Game Commission is
responsible for conserving and managing all wild birds and mammals in the
Commonwealth, establishing hunting seasons and bag limits, enforcing hunting
and trapping laws, and managing habitat on the 1.4 million acres of State Game
Lands it has purchased over the years with hunting and furtaking license
dollars to safeguard wildlife habitat. The agency also conducts numerous

NONRESIDENT ANTLERLESS DEER APPLICATIONS TO BE ACCEPTED AUG. 20
As Pennsylvania Game Commission employees began processing resident hunter
antlerless deer license applications yesterday, nonresident hunters are
reminded that the agency will accept their regular antlerless deer license
applications starting on Aug. 20.

Today, the Game Commission launched its "Doe License Update" page on its
website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) to provide hunters additional information on the
antlerless license application process, including regular updates about the
number of antlerless licenses available by Wildlife Management Unit (WMU).
Look for it in the "Quick Clicks" box in the upper right-hand corner of the
agency's homepage.

Antlerless deer licenses cost $26 for nonresidents, $6 for residents. Checks
should be made payable to "County Treasurer," not the Game Commission. Also,
applicants should not designate a specific county.

GAME COMMISSION POSTS DMAP INFORMATION ON WEBSITE
Hunters looking for new antlerless deer hunting opportunities are encouraged to
review the list of Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) properties
available on the Pennsylvania Game Commission's website (www.pgc.state.pa.us).
Just click on the "DMAP" logo on the homepage and then select the county of
interest from the map.

"DMAP is a Game Commission program designed to help landowners who are looking
for additional means to manage deer numbers on their properties," said Calvin
W. DuBrock, Game Commission Bureau of Wildlife Management director. "Qualified
landowners participating in DMAP receive a limited number of coupons -
determined by acreage - that they will make available to hunters, who, in turn,
may redeem them for a DMAP antlerless deer permit to hunt on the property for
which they are issued. Hunters may use them during any deer hunting season in
the 2007-08 license year."

This year, 793 properties with a total of 1,466,969 acres were approved for
enrollment in DMAP. Participating landowners have 32,115 coupons to distribute
to hunters.
