Nice pile if finds. Congrats on all the silver and other goodies. Here in Pa. I believe we need permits to hunt in the state parks also. Good luck. Mark
Hey Mark... At one point, about 10 years ago, I had asked at a local state park here in PA (sorry, Tom! ) and I was told that it was up to the park manager. No permit was required, but they didn't want other visitors being disturbed or marked historic spots disturbed. Now, that was under a different governor and a different "climate" so I have no idea what the situation is here now.
I haven't been back to my local state park since then. But about 10 years ago, they opened the dam and dropped the water level in the lake by a LOT to build some structures for fish habitat. I was fairly new to the hobby and didn't have the best equipment or experience, but I went to the boat launch, desperately looking for gold before they finished the project. Got a bunch of change but I got tired of being fooled by fishing weights. I was so dumb to give up. I still think about it and cringe. They haven't done it again since then.
I do know they've been trying to modernize some things at the state DCNR. You can actually hunt on some Sundays now. And those stupid pink envelopes are going away...you'll be able to order additional doe tags on this newfangled internet thingie. About time!
I'll have to check and see what the situation is. (Again, sorry, Tom )
