MoreGaleton, Pa. April Weather Report
April 2024 was a very wet month. Lots of April showers Last April we received 1.19″ of rainfall and this year the total was 5.53″. It was well above normal. The streams look very good. The month began cloudy with morning readings in the mid 30’s then it gradually warmed up.
Morning readings were in the mid 40s with a few 50’s then many readings in the 30’s with a few very frosty readings in the 20’s. Even with the ground covered white with frost the grass continued to grow. The mowers were out and very active. Whatever happened to the days when lawn mowing started after Memorial Day and ended on Labor Day?? We did have two mornings with a trace of snow on the ground and last year just one day.
We had 8 foggy mornings and 3 thunderstorms. Some of the March winds held over until April which caused some large trees to fall. Get ready for May flowers. They are already blooming and start mowing at least once a week or more.

PA SENATE BILL TAKES AWAY PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS
When the Sunday hunting bill was passed by the state Legislature and signed by the Governor in 2019, a little-noticed amendment was added to the bill before passage. The amendment allows hunters to enter privately owned lands, posted or not, at any time to retrieve a hunting dog without the knowledge and permission of the landowner. While retrieving a hunting dog is not the issue, the constitutionality of the legislation is the issue. Government does not have the right to dictate to a private property owner who they must allow onto their property for any reason. That is a decision made solely by the property owner. Senate Bill 1087, when introduced in February by Senators Rothman, Dush, Culver, and Vogel, would have eliminated the ‘dog retrieval’ clause from the Game and Wildlife Code. Subsequently, an out-of-state sportsmen’s organization contacted the bill sponsors and successfully had the ‘dog retrieval’ clause reinserted into the bill.
The unfettered right, by legislation and written into law, allowing trespassing onto private property fliesin the face of the ‘Takings Cause’ of the Fifth Amendment and the ‘Due Process Clause’ of the United States Constitution. Private property rights are paramount to all else. This provision could lead to confrontations between landowners and trespassers if allowed to stand. It would also potentially expose the landowner to liability if a trespasser is injured while on the property. Everyone who values the constitutional protections afforded to private property owners should contact their state representative and senator to request that the ‘dog retrieval’ provision of the Game and Wildlife Code be removed and private property rights fully restored. If this law provision can stand, you must ask yourself, ‘What’s next?’ As SB 1087 is currently written, the Unified Sportsmen of PA opposes it.
