most of the pics were right here in tioga county with a few in potter. Chad did a nice write up on it. there were over 500 illegal wells drilled in 2012 alone adding to all the permitted ones in pa. Its a sin for sure. And now we are seeing less game around, from we think of the under ground shaking of the earth from fracking.

Drill baby, drill... Responsibly!
Regarding seismic affects from drilling-related activities on game. There is indeed concern that it may have some affect on critters like snakes, etc particular concern with timber rattlers, which is a species of concern in Pennsylvania.

Thanks for the kind words, Bob.
I'm curious about the less game thing. Who's proposing this tie between game populations and the seismic side-effects of fracking? Is this just someone's conjecture, or have you actually seen something proposed by someone researching this?

The rattlers are protected. A friend of mine(independent from the gas companies) goes to the well area & locates any rattlers & makes sure they(drillers) do not disturb them & other wildlife. It's required by the state.
