As is the game commissioner just sit around or ride their vehicles till they are worn out. Very ,very seldom do you see them doing an work that is good for the game . Some times , I see deceased deer lay by the way side until they fall apart. Years ago our game wardens took care of the deer herds. Today they seem to care less and less. They have shot themselves in the foot as now very few people even want to hunt because of the small deer herds. The streams are now dry in the summer because of the lack of moisture in this area. Combine the two and use less people and take away their big play toys that they use.; Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 5:08:00 PM EST

They just dumped it straight in with out deluting it like it should have been.; Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 11:20:00 PM EST

As for the deer laying on the side of the road, perhaps you should call and report the deer on the road, and depending on the road, Penndot does not allow the officers to remove the carcaus off the roady. As Penndot has buys that go out on roads as state roads or roads taht Penndot manages to remove all animals. I little knowledge would be acceptable when making suggestions next time.; Friday, March 15, 2013 at 4:51:00 AM EDT
