Hidden Manna

Thank you for the info!

You the man!!!

Alan2: By the way, Hidden Manna, why do you prefer to hunt in State Parks reather than SGL's? - I don't hunt on state parks, I like to hunt on state forest land, It gives me much more options... Parking, Over night camping/ hunting and fishing trips!!! They are the best- Hike into an area 3-4 miles from anyone, camp over night. hunt all the next day type of deal.... SGL are a little bit more resricted. The areas are a little bit less hunted.... SGL during hunting season is worse then the city... but just west of the Water Gap there is so much wild life its not funny, sometimes I feel and I see in the lands that I have hunted and fished the best management is no to little management: I just see more wild life on state forest land then SGL. Its also hard to scout and area to hunt that you know on opening day there will be 5-10 other hunter in that same spot! Not my idea of fun.

I can see how the PGC sees this issue. I thinks the last thing they want to hear is on the first or last day of a big game season; Some hunter REALY MAD about getting in his or her tree stand 2 hours befor day light and all that person saw was a family of Geocacher's (all in orange) pointing in 6 diffferent dicrections and walking around in circles 100 yards from there favorite hunting spot... One yelling I lost the signal, others saying I think its over here, or I hope theres still a Jeep TB in this one. I do think they would get a lot of calls about somthing like that and they would say WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR THIS HUNTING LAND AND IT'S NOT ONLY FOR HUNTING.... Somthing like that. I'm not just tooting my horn, I've been a hunter for 9 years Bow and Gun, I've payed for my Lic. and to this day I have never hunted on Game Lands. I injoy hunting on State forest land. I have run into many hikers and other hunters doing this and I except this fact, Its Public land! But GAME LANDS are a different story... We are the secondary users of this land intended for Hunting and fishing, The best thing for us to do is stay calm. -Hidden Manna

Just an add on, Cache (It's The Pits) Just went down do to the PA Game Commission. Thats 3 that I know of...

I have also been told by another geocacher that "Nightseeker" is a game officer that is removing caches? I hope this is not true... I also was told that he may go by the name "Bearttrppr" I'm just happy that I got mine out in time... -Safe, Legal, Ethical

They also asked me to tell the Geocaching web site that it is illegal so we all know Not to cache on State Game Lands... To repeat: Phill White from the Northeast Region Law Enforcement Dispatch of the PA State Game Commission @ (570) 657-1143 is the one I talked to on June 30th 2005. Feel free to give him a call if you want: But as of 6/30/2005 my cache is not wellcome on SGL.

I have been in contact with my local office (Northeast Region 570-675-1143 Phill White) and he has given me the illegal line. I just lost my (Decker Oxbow) cache and I have talked to a cacher that has had a cache taken by the game commission! ( Space Oddity was the cache) His cache ammo can was taken and destroyed! When I hurd this I went down and pulled mine ASAP... I hope that there may be some way to confront the main office and inform of our intentions and positive impacts on OUR STATE GAME LANDS that we pay for and pay them to Manage.

Try to keep it simple; Light colored pants or shorts; white under shirt, button down top shirt; outdoor shoes or boots; and head gear (hat or bandanna)

Been try to get that one myself, thanks!
