Hello to all:

It's been quite awhile since I've posted anything, but I still continue to read the comments of others.

I'm not a poet, but I've put together this poem about Gary Alt. I'm sure someone out there will be able to top my efforts and will be looking forward to reading that.

I realize I've painted a target on my back and expect to be shot at so don't worry about hurting my feelings.

                      Gary  Alt


There once was a man named "Alt"
And the mess we are in I believe is his fault.

He said “There's too many deer and that is a shame”
But was 600,000 too many to claim?

He traveled the State from East to West
Preaching "Listen to me...I know what is best"

Some said Alt clearly was bought
Others claimed that he surely was not

"Reduce the herd" his message was clear.
I can still  hear him now "There are too many deer"

The habitats gone and that is a shame
The white tail deer.. now they are to blame.

We'll have bigger bucks when we kill off the does
Pennsylvania will be the State where everyone goes

We will be known from far and known from near
Pennsylvania is the home of the really big deer.

Now several years later...I don't think it's so clear
What Gary Alt said about too many deer.

Things have not worked out like he had planned
But one thing for sure there is more Posted Land

Hunting Clubs and Land Leases abound
They don't kill does there's to few to be found.

Pa. hunters who once were united
Now we argue and fuss and are very divided

Are the bucks bigger....some will say "Yes"
Other's disagree....OH what a mess!

If he was wrong or if he was right
You'll have to agree he started a fight

But here's the part I don't understand
Why he started this fight then picked up and ran

To greener pastures I have no doubt
But look at the bright side at least he's out

So who do we blame and who is at fault.
No doubt about it his name's "Gary Alt"

You had alot to say, I smiled the whole way.

Man, that was a good read alright .  How long that take you??  Don't agree with some of it but that is alright too.

So Nissan is your name, wish you posted more to play this game.

We always need some others views.  Don't be shy, post away.
