The House Game and Fisheries Committee, chaired by Rep. Martin Causer, met in February to accept annual reports from the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. In addition to accepting the reports, committee members questioned PGC Executive Director Matt Hough and PFBC Executive Director John Arway about a variety of issues, including funding needs and the impact of their programs and policies on sportsmen and anglers in the Commonwealth.
