Deer hunters shouldn't have any trouble getting one, or perhaps as many as three, "doe" licenses this year for hunting in Cameron and Potter counties. The Game Commission will begin accepting antlerless deer license applications from resident hunters beginning Monday, Aug. 6. All applications must be submitted through the U.S. Mail (first-class only). More ... Pennsylvania Game Commission officials have spoken out against House Bill 251, which would loosen the restrictions on using bait as a hunting tactic in the state. HB 251 would prohibit hunting within 150 yards of any feeder. However, hunters would be able to move through a feeding area or past a feeder, driving wildlife to a distance where they could be shot.

Their mother took up residence on a porch in Austin. It is the second brood of chicks she has raised there this year. More ... An internationally known horseback archery professional will stage two more performances this weekend at Ski Denton in Potter County as the Eastern Traditional Archery Rendezvous continues. Lukas Novotny has demonstrated his precision archery skills from the back of a speeding horse in the U.S., Europe and Asia. He'll perform Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and again at 4:00 p.m. More ... Several weekend activities are planned at Sinnemahoning State Park in Cameron and Potter counties. On Sunday, park naturalists will offer pontoon tours on the lake, with departures at noon, 1:30 and 3:00. Guides will discuss wetlands and the park's nesting bald eagles on each tour. More ... When I think of our forests, the first thing that comes to mind is our state tree, the Eastern Hemlock. Dark, hemlock-shrouded hillsides, hemlock-canopied trout streams, and hemlock swamps have always captivated me. Our forests just wouldn't be the same without hemlocks. More ... Sizerville State Park offers many opportunities for young people to learn about nature, conservation and enjoyment of the outdoors this summer. Children four through 13 can learn about the natural world through hands-on activities, stories, presentations, crafts, demonstrations and games. To register or learn more, call the park office at 486-5605. More ... Pennsylvania hunting and furtaker licenses for the 2007-08 seasons remain on sale.
