Jacklighting or the
attempt to jacklight deer
is on the increase in
Northeast Pennsylvania
according to a report by
Robert H. Myers, Nor-
theast Division Super-
visor, Pennsylvania
Game Commission. The
Game Protectors and
Deputy Game Protectors
have been successful in
apprehending and
prosecuting those persons
caught in the act of taking
or attempting to kill deer
illegally.
Myers states that he
believes that those per-
sons who take that chance
to violate the game laws,
by night hunting, do not
realize the consequences.
Not only is the fine high,
$200 per each offense, but
in the case of killing or
attempting to kill, a
person can, according to
law, not only have his
firearm and all
paraphernalia used
confiscated, but the Game
Commission does have
the authority to confiscate
a vehicle if it is used in
killing a deer by use of an
artificial light. To go
along with the fine and
forfeiture of equipment, a
mandatory revocation of
hunting privileges will be
imposed.

deer check
operated by
Game Commission
personnel, will be in
operation in Northeast
Pennsylvania Dec. 1, to
Two
stations,
Dec. 3, according to
Robert H. Myers,
Supervisor, Northeast
Division, Pennsylvania
Game Commission. The
stations will be in the
Shohola Falls Recreation
area parking lot along Rt.
6, Pike County and the
other on Eastbound lane
on I-80, near White Haven.
Game biologists, who
are given the tremendous
taks of keeping track of
the deer herd and con-
dition of the deer range,
will be on hand to age and
check condition of all
deer. This is an important
deer management tool
used to insure a healthy
herd for years to come.
Myers states that this
program will produce
valuable biological data
to assist the Game
Commission to set
seasons and limits. All
hunters are requested to
stopy by, if convenient, to
have their deer checked.

The Dallas Junior High
student = entered the
contest last June. He drew
the “Follow Your Nose”
character on the Fruit
Loop cereal and mailed it
with one box top to
Kellogs in Battle Creek,
Mich.
Immediately following,
Maniskas received an
iron-on patch picturing a
10-speed Schwinn bicycle
with rider.
During the early part of
October, Maniskas
received a letter that he
had taken first place in his
age category. He was
instructed to have the
letter notarized and in-
dicate his choice of a 10-
speed or a BMX bike as
well as his choice of
dealer. Maniskas selected
a Schwinn 10-speed which
he received this month.
A ninth grade student at
Dallas Junior High
School, Maniskas also
studies art with Sue Hand
of Dallas. He has two
sisters, Pam, a senior at
Dallas High School; and
Amy, in kindergarten at
Dallas.
Maniskas delivers a
daily paper so he doesn’t
have much time to par-
ticipate in extra-
curricular sports at
school.

submitted = depicted the

together to provide all th
enecessary information to
measure this valuable
wildlife resource.
Game Commission
personnel will also check
locker plants, butcher
shops, hunting camps or
where ever deer may be
found, to gain as much
data as possible. Both the
deer herd and the deer
range are constantly
changing. To meet these
changes, all possible
avenues must be checked.
Information collected
from deer includes its
age, antler beam
diameter, number of
points, weight and where
and when killed.
Checking teeth will give
exact age of deer, while
antler growth will tell
whether the deer are
feeding properly.
There is a miscon-
ception regarding these
checking stations. These
should not be confused
with law enforcement
road blocks. Each serves
their purpose, but only
stations which are aging
deer by examining teeth
are collecting the
required data.
Hunters who bag bucks
and plan to stop at one of
the deer checking stations
are urged to prop open the
mouths of their trophies to
prevent jaws from
freezing shut. Game
Commission personnel
are unable to determine
the age of the deer when
the jaws are frozen shut.
Supervisor Myers
cautions sportsmen that a
hunter may not Kill or
attempt. to kill more than
one deer during the
hunting license year. gg
one is successful Ii
harvesting a whitetail
deer, remember to
remove the deer tag from
the license, fill in all
required information and
attach the tag to the head
of the deer within one
hour or before the carcass
is moved from where the
deer was killed. A deer is
not legally tagged unless.
all information is listed on
the tag. A tag must
remain attached to the
head of the deer until the
head is destroyed or
delivered to a taxider-
mist. After killing and
tagging a deer, it is
unlawful to remove the
tag or to be in possession
of a deer tag in the forests
or fields of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania is well
known as a leader in deer
management, states
Myers, and with a com-
bined effort by the hunter
and the Game Com-
mission, I can see no
reason why we cannot
