Forest and Fish Laws and Turpentine Chips
Tazewell county game warden reports arrests for fish and game violations last month. May fines totaled 10.75 for undersized trout, 30 for out of season rock bass, 80 for dynamiting, 104.25 for license violations, and 27.75 for dog law breaches. Separate study suggests low chipping in turpentine work boosts yield and quality, with tests showing economic viability and healthier trees. Also notes Pennsylvania deer herd concerns about buck and doe balance and antler quality.
