More hunters money wasted ....

Now the PGC is using our monies to post on face book. Belive me they aint doing it for free. http://www.facebook.com/PennsylvaniaGameCommission?sk=wall

Did I mention they also have signed on to twitter and you tube as well.

I would agree, Fishin.  Probably be cheaper going this route, provided that they decrease the printing and distribution of materials that are not utilized.

I see this no more of a waste of money than all the pamphlets and such that you can pick up at any Treasurer's office,PGC office,fair display,etc.

I agree many of pgc pamphlets are a HUGE waste. Especially the deer management ones.

I donno, to me it just seems "bush league".

I didnt see much on those sites. Guess they arent done yet. Links to several pages of antideer propaganda + a donations button and they should be set.

Just got back from the hospital after having chest pains after reading that Dars thinks the PGC may be doing some good .....

NOT... just kidding..


Great Idea == I've been telling the info officer and Feaser they should have been using more of the internet for about 8 years now

not sure why the PGC would have to pay ???

I have accounts on those and it is not costing me anything but some time to post and read what's there ???????

Seems like a positive to me.

Didn't mean to hospitalize you.  As I stated before, I don't disagree with all the PGC does.  Just some of it.
 
The cost comes from having to pay someone to maintain, add to, and update the site.

You do know that this person (I think I know) is not well liked by those in the upper tier of the PGC?

If true I had no idea. It seems pretty clear that this person sees themself as some sort of unofficial mascot. And this person simply cannot do what they do without some level of support, at some level.

wayne,
Only your posts are "bush league."

A little hypocritical for someone who whines like a pre-pubescent girl in their signature line:

Fisherie,
A place for bashing, trolling, internet fighting and occassionally, a post about fishing.

lmao.

As one can easly see the public input on facebook is very limited. Not many replys at all. As far as cost some one is getting paid to tap on the keyboard. The PGC crys that youths are spending too much time with electronic gadgets and then turns arounds and comes up with this idea. Will it help put more back into the woods? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

The only "youths" that are gonna go onto a PGC site are ones that already hunt. How many youths that dont already have the interest are gonna seek out such a site?

And as I see it, the only way youths are gonna have interest and go at all will be due to the parents planting that seed of interest and taking them.

I found this to be interesting ,I think, duties of a WCO. RSB will you teach me to operate a BOAT, or SNOWMOBILE and then maybe we can ride around all day and check out the maggots and crawlers at various bait shops. Is this crap for real? Oh BTW this what is being printed on Facebook.

"I believe the money should of been used to support more youth hands on programs."

Again, WHAT money? As far as you know it's not costing the PGC an extra dime.
And what pray tell is there about the "mission & duties" that makes it "crap'? It's all pretty reasonable At least to reasonable people.

Grudges are a burden only on those who carry them. And the one you have against the PGC, is a load I wouldn't wish on anyone.

There are more people that have negative feeling toward the PGC than ever before. The INTERNET is a powerful tool as more are speaking out. I believe they do alot of good but they still have a long way to go to clean up the mess they made. They also need to send some of their employees back to charm school as well. Those are the guys that hurt them the worst not me. I call it as I see it, like it or not ! There are a lot that feel as I do and this a very small hunting site. If you like I could post the opinions of others from elsewhere that is if it's not against this sites policy. I offer much more to this site than just political BS. You should look around.

Remember, we're talking about a quasi government agency here, it will cost way more than at a private company. That being said, I don't really have a problem with it. Although I'm kinda partial to print...
