As a Pa resident and hunter for 30 years, I have witnessed several instances of WCO's exceeding their boundries. I have personally dealt with instances where the game wardens were harrassing my teen age children and were completly out of line. The best way I have found to resolve an incident is to call in the State police to sort things out. WCO's and police do not play well together in my area and the police have always been able to be the professionals and deal with the situation effectively.

That being said, I support Armstrongs proposed legilation because the Game commission can not obviously police it self

Good post. DWCO's are nothing but wannabe barney fife's and try and throw their power way too far. So do some WCO's. Clarion County ring a bell to anyone? LMFAO.

as a hunter myself, i have a few differences with the PGC's deer management program and their ban on sunday hunting, but i fully support their law enforcement efforts. there's way too many 'slob hunters' out there that give us law-abiding hunters a bad name.

Senator Armstrong, you are WAY off base on this issue. your son got caught "road hunting" and isn't man enough to admit he was wrong and pay the consequences. this deputy had every reason to do what he did in that situation. from this account, your son acted like...well...a senator's son. heck, i half expected to read that he asked the deputy "do you know who i am?"

Good thing you waited until after the case was resolved so as to not appear to be trying to influence the case. now it only appears that you're trying to get revenge on the PGC for their rightful prosecution of your son's illegal acts.

shame on you for wasting the taxpayers' time and money. and shame on any lawmaker that supports this blatant attempt at payback!

This clown's son had a loaded firearm in a vehicle, lied about it, and then speeds away when the officer tries to obtain his identification.

Maybe there was something more illegal in the car than just a loaded firearm. Maybe something that would have put him and his unidentified passenger away for a long time?

Got to wonder why someone would run over a game law check!
