Causer to Host Meeting on Deer Management

HARRISBURG – Rep. Martin Causer (R-Turtlepoint), chairman of the House Game and Fisheries Committee, will host a public hearing about Pennsylvania’s deer management policies on Thursday, April 25, at the Coudersport Volunteer Fire Department.

The meeting is open to the public and will begin at 6 p.m.

“There is a great deal of concern among our sportsmen and sportswomen about the state of Pennsylvania’s deer herd,” said Causer. “This is an opportunity for them to hear firsthand from the Pennsylvania Game Commission and other organizations about the details of the program and its impact.”

In addition to Game Commission officials, others scheduled to appear before the committee include representatives the Unified Sportsmen of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs and the Pennsylvania Forest Products Association.

“As chairman of the Game and Fisheries Committee, my priority is to preserve Pennsylvania’s long-standing hunting and fishing traditions,” Causer said. “Taking a closer look at management of the deer herd is an important part of that effort.”

The Coudersport Volunteer Fire Department is located at 171 Route 6 West in Coudersport.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly...
