In this EMERGENCY BONUS episode, Jason talks with Don Rank of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. Don is the PA Chairman of the BHA and a returning guest. He fills us in on a specific amendment to HB 1300, a state budget bill. This amendment redirects (STEALS) $150 million from the Game Fund and allocates that money for alternate spending. Listen in as Don explains how this is a terrible financial decision for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, hunters, conservationists, and outdoors people of all kinds.
