HEADLINES: At our last meeting we took a little trip with our 4-H group. We went to Salt Springs Park in Montrose. First we had lunch under a pavilion in case it rained. Then we all walked around a stream; we saw some waterfalls and we looked at the virgin trees. After that we saw a rock that people put pennies into for good luck. After hiking all of us went back to the pavilion for desert. We all had a very good time at this beautiful park. News Reporter: Alyssa Clarkson Four Seasons

Major Reminds Hunters Of Change HARRISBURG - Rep. Sandra Major (R- Susquehanna/Wayne/Wyoming) is reminding hunters who wish to apply for antlerless deer licenses that the application process for licenses has changed dramatically since last year. Starting Monday, July 13, county treasurers can begin accepting antlerless license applications from resident hunters, three weeks earlier than last year. Hunters may mail license applications directly to the county treasurer of their choice. An antlerless license application will be printed with every general license purchased, and an application also will be available in the Hunting and Trapping Digest. You may apply for a license with either. Any county treasurer can now issue an antlerless deer license for any Wildlife Management Unit (WMU), as long as the WMU's allocation is not sold out. Hunters will also list their first, second and third WMU preferences for licenses. Treasurers will fill the highest preference listed by the hunter. This will eliminate reapplications if one's first or second preference is sold out. Hunters should also be aware that the Game Commission has been selling licenses since June 15, through the Pennsylvania Automated Licensing System (PALS). Paper applications are no longer available for residents. Nonresidents who have always submitted a paper application are being strongly encouraged to use PALS. In addition, individuals will be able to apply for a license by visiting license issuing agents located throughout the state. For a list of agents, more information on changes for the upcoming license year or to access PALS, visit Major's Web site at RepMajor.com.
