Game Commission Executive Director Glenn L Boweis, in re viewing the federal report, noted that the number of paid hunting license holders in the United States increased by 245,538 last year, so Pennsylvania accounted for more than one-quarter of the national increase. “I think these figures speak for themselves,” Bowers said. It is well known that we offer sports men the best diversified hunting recreation in America. “When one state accounts for over a fourth of the national in crease in hunters, the picture as to number one ranking becomes unmistakably clear,” he said. “Especially pleasing to us is the non-resident license sale. For years, we believed we were first, but had no way to prove it, be cause some states required pur chase of separate tags, permits or stamps to hunt different spec ies. When all of these figures were lumped together, totals claimed by other states barely edged our figures,” Bowers said. “Now, there can be no doubt about who leads in sales of non resident licenses. “■Furthermore, each person who purchases a license in Penn sylvania can hunt any of the many species of game animals and birds we have to oiler on that one license; it isn’t neces sary to have special permits or tags for each species. A Penn sylvania hunting license is a real bargain any way you look at it,” Bowers said. “Hunters agree. They have shown through license purchases where the greatest recreation is to be found,” he concluded.
