Grange, one of the biggest problems that has been in question since this huge industrial activity began is the lack of DEP inspectors to do the job.

Your "well documented" evidence re ground water contamination from hydraulic fracturing is much like the evidence for the existence of the Lizard Man in WVa.Many do believe in each...especially, if there is personal value or stump time for them in that belief. http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index...

Ok, I cant argue with that and by the look of that snow it looks like you might need some snow shoes for your dogs too.

The problem is that using the dog as the excuse whether to hunt or not is bogus. There are a thousand reasons you can use to make up your mind if you want to go or not but the dog is not one of them. the dog is ready any time you are and there is no way you are going to injure a dog by too much hun...
