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.
April marked the second con-

while egg-type increased 5 per
cent.
