Back Mountain Outdoors As The sun broke over the trees, a group of men from the Pennsyl- vania Deer Association began their work pruning wild apple trees on Gamelands 13. Gamelands hold thousands of apple trees within their borders, but with the Penn- sylvania Game Commission’s lim- ited manpower, the association has taken on the task of pruning as many as they can. This will be the group's third year doing this kind of project and only a fraction of those trees have been pruned so far. The Pennsylvania Deer Asso- ciation (PDA) is a state-wide orga- nization that has been in exist- ence since 1978 and is still per- haps one of the smallest groups of its kind in the Keystone State. The organization now numbers ap- proximately 900 members. “Since our numbers are less than 1/10 of a percent of licensed hunters in Pennsylvania, it can be a little disturbing that more people aren't members of the PDA. Especially since we represent the most heavily hunted game animal in Pennsylvania,” says Tom Harmon. Harmon, who is a Regional Di- rector of the PDA, is no stranger to doing what is needed for the fu- ture of hunting in Pennsylvania. Harmon has worked on every PDA projectin the Northeast since they started three years ago. He also oversees the management of funds for the Youth Field Days that take place throughout the state. In the past the group has per- formed such tasks as planting crab apple, chestnut, and Callery pear trees on state gamelands. The Game Commission provided the seedlings and the association supplied the tree protectors that prevent rabbits and deer from harming the trees while they're seedlings. All of this is done with funds that are raised from mem- berships, raffles, and banquets. Yolunteers aid deer The PDA also has taken on an active role in Pennsylvania in the proper management of the white- tail deer. “We want people to learn why it is necessary to manage deer scientifically and not for po- litical, social, or economic rea- sons,” says Harmon. The Pennsylvania Deer Asso- ciation will hold its second an- nual Northeast Regional Banquet April 1 at the TGIF/Holiday Inn complex in Wilkes-Barre. The guest speaker is slated to be Bob Clark, an award-winning author, western big game hunting guide, and one of the best turkey hunt- ers in the country. “It is the purpose of these ban- quets to raise money for habitat projects, Youth Fields Days, and many other worthwhile causes. Last year money was donated to 34 Youth Field Days, several Youth Conservation Schools, and Women In The Outdoors pro- grams,” says Harmon. Anyone wishing to attend the Pa. Deer Associations banquet or participate in one of their habitat projects can do so by contacting Tom Harmon at 639-2810.
