Maybe there will be a mass kill on the side of Dewey Road and that may get some attention! probably more than they would like<br /><br />JimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05400574861179520996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690422682664917237.post-57209824394839083772011-04-18T01:49:04.095-04:002011-04-18T01:49:04.095-04:00This is very sad, Willard.

One has to wonder why the people in charge want all of the healthy monster bulls to disappear when they just spent millions on an ELK visitor center.<br /><br />Everyone loved Fred. Hope they all realize that we will never have another elk reach that age again.<br /><br />Hope these hunters can support the new center, because that area is slowly losing a lot of tourist dollars because of the way the 'hunt' is being handled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690422682664917237.post-21268763611274483162011-04-17T12:41:54.789-04:002011-04-17T12:41:54.789-04:00The PGC has certainly lined there pockets under th...The PGC has certainly lined there pockets under the guise of Elk protection. It is indeed a sad day that they will allow a "hunt" of basically pretty tame Elk. I for one am glad that my 88 yr old Uncle John can no longer venture to the Winslow Hill area to hike some of the trails to view, video, and photograph these beautiful animals. He as am I, would be disgusted with what all the commercialization has done to the area. Now they want to include these "tame" Elk in the hunt. Pitiful way to manage and protect these beautiful creatures. I guess it would just be too much bother to "relocate" a few of them to other parts of Pennsylvania. Tis indeed, a sad state of affairs.Blair Cessnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378028689077713471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690422682664917237.post-9867579725301409482011-04-16T13:35:03.448-04:002011-04-16T13:35:03.448-04:00It is very clear that the PGC has no interest in t...It is very clear that the PGC has no interest in the eco-tourism in the Pa Wilds and perhaps partly a result of our new Governor’s drive on drilling & fracking the Marcellus shale. <br /> According to reports I have read Governor Corbett received over$1,000,000 of campaign contributions from the energy industries and has done everything in his power to give them unfettered access to the region, including untaxed! Tourism in the Pa Wilds will stand in the way of the gas companies so how better to start than eliminate the huge bulls that are one of the core attractions to the area.<br />Governor Rendell certainly has his faults but he when it came to the elk and the environment he was a breath of fresh air compared to what we have now.<br /><br />We heard the mantra "drill baby drill" now when it comes to the elk in the tourist area it "kill baby kill"!Coy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961295214970687017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690422682664917237.post-77394579559045884612011-04-16T12:48:24.503-04:002011-04-16T12:48:24.503-04:00Dear Willard, there are periods that I have to &qu...Dear Willard, there are periods that I have to "rest" from reading your blog because learning the cruel truth is too much for me. But then I am drawn back by the photos (of the live animals, at least) and your information about their lives. <br /><br />Thanks also for your poetic, philosophical comment about the donkey and friends.<br />Take care out there.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690422682664917237.post-59810718630309533522011-04-16T12:24:58.212-04:002011-04-16T12:24:58.212-04:00oh willard i am heart broken. what can we do? i kn...oh willard i am heart broken. what can we do? i know i am not from there but email me or comment on my blog if you have any ideas. i heard gun shots that sounded so close to the house but since the trees have no leaves yet the source was in the land beside our belonging to a trailer court. i have such a fear of that sound. i hope you find time to stop by, i am giving away a white flower farm gift certificate if you guess who buttercup is...your wife will like it if you win if she enjoys gardening and veggies. take care!!Kritter Keeper at Farm Tailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289022593889972949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690422682664917237.post-52171901403885106362011-04-16T12:04:37.387-04:002011-04-16T12:04:37.387-04:00Very disturbing news Willard.

Here's a bull that has great potential to grow to be a very majestic animal and for what, to be picked off in an open field by someone that only visits here to claim a trophy. It sickens us.PaWingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319593598322983193noreply@blogger.com
