This came from Andy Bensing and his organization Deer Recovery of Pennsylvania:
The effort to legalize
Leashed Tracking Dogs for recovering wounded deer in PA has been ongoing for 17
years and right now we are the closest we have ever been and almost
there. The PA Game Commission, PFSC, USP, UBP, QDMA ,NRA and 97% of PA
hunters as of the last survey taken support the legalization of Leashed
Tracking Dogs. HB1722 which will legalize the use of Leashed Tracking
Dogs has passed the House and is awaiting a final vote on the Senate floor.
The problem is that HB1722 has been languishing on the Senate Calendar for the
last month and has not been brought up for the final vote. There are 2
weeks left in Harrisburg before the Senate goes on Summer Recess. If
HB1722 doesn’t come up for vote by the end of June, PA hunters will be going
another hunting season this fall without access to Leashed Tracking Dogs.
The Leashed Tracking Dog movement needs every hunter’s help right now.
There is no time to waste. To help make this finally happen, here is what
you need to do.
Send an email or letter to Senator Jake Corman right away. Tell him you
support HB1722, the Leashed Tracking Dog bill, and ask him to bring it up
for a final vote on the Senate floor. If you are really feeling
motivated, in addition to sending an email, call his office and let his office
know you would like him to bring HB1722 up for vote. Senator Corman is
the Leader in the Senate and he is in charge of deciding which bills get a
chance to be voted on. Here is the contact info for Senator Corman: http://www.senatorcorman.com/contact/
