A44-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 23,2002 UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre Co.) Early in the 1900 s, when there were few deer and bears left in Pennsylvania, it became apparent that their po pulations would require protec tion and management for their survival. Now, 100 years later, according to a Penn State wild life expert, it appears that these conservation efforts worked well perhaps too well. “The situation has changed,” says Gary San Julian, professor of wildlife resources in the Col lege of Agricultural Sciences. “We now have too many white tailed deer in many places and our bear population has tripled in size during the last few dec ades.” Bear- and deer-damage com plaints are significant, accord ing to San Julian. The most important management tool for these species, sport hunting, is becoming less popular in many parts of the nation and fewer young hunters are joining the hunting ranks. Pennsylvania so far has bucked that trend, actually sell ing more junior hunting licenses y / —CLOSED SUNDAYS, NEW YEAR, EASTER MONDAY, ASCENSION DAY, WHIT MONDAY, OCT. 11, THANKSGIVING, f«a»imE CHRISTMAS & DECEMBER 26TH FISHER'S FURNITURE, INC, NEW AND USED FURNITURE USED COAL & WOOD HEATERS COUNTRY FURNITURE & ANTIQUES BUS.

But even he worries about an apparent decrease in hunting pressure resulting in hunting being less effective as a game management tool. “The fact that our hunting li cense sales numbers have stayed consistent and even increased slightly is testimony to Pennsyl vania’s extremely strong hunt ing heritage,” Feaser says, “but it does seem to be true that per haps due to our modern lifestyle and demands on their time, hunters don’t hunt as hard, as long or as often as they used to. Still, our big game harvests are as high as ever.” “Modern wildlife manage ment has been very successful and through protection and con servative harvest limits we have increased populations of most of our game species,” San Julian says. “But before hunting sea sons this year there were 1.5 mil lion deer and 15,000 bears in Pennsylvania.

As the human population has grown with corresponding in creases in road-building and de velopment big-game habitat has shrunk. “Deer, bear and resident Canada geese overpopulation are among the top wildlife di lemmas managers face these days,” says San Julian. “We are probably going to have to look at how we create our regulations. Actually it’s already happening. For the first time this fall here in Pennsylvania we had concurrent buck and antlerless deer hunting seasons.” Feaser said the growth in the bear population has game com mission biologists considering a concurrent deer-bear hunting season in some parts of the state. Some other states have re sorted to liberalized bag limits to control game populations. For example in North Carolina, a hunter can shoot six deer a year, four of which must be does. “If hunting pressure declines, we may have to look at using some sort of incentives to get more RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT & HARDWARE & TOOL AUCTION SAT., MARCH 2, 2002 10 AM, PREVIEW 8 AM 619 Mercer Street, Hightstown, NJ 08520 INCLUDING EQUIPMENT FROM A DONUT SHOP (all pieces like new): Electro Freeze Soft Serve Machine (3-phase, water-cooled, 220 volt), Sharp Cash Register, Checkout Station with Register and Coffee Counter, Star Hot Dog Grill, Star Bun Steamer, Tastewell Belgian Waffle Baker, Linsom Aluminum Kettles (1250 watts), Split-Top Tables (2 and 4 seat), Shadow Boxes, Dishwasher, Menu Panels, Ice Cream Dipping Boxes, Ice Cream Cake Freezer Display Case, Topping Counter, Air Systems Refrigerated Back Counter, Ceiling Fans with Lights.
