The game commission can’t legally charge them. That’s what the author of the article failed to mention.

No violations of the wildlife code occurred. That isn’t to say that laws weren’t broken, or that charges couldn’t come from another agency, but the PGC is only able to enforce laws from within the wildlife code.

For example, until trespassing was added to the wildlife code, if I had found someone hunting in my property without permission, I had to call the state police. If that person had shot and animal while trespassing, I had to call the state police and the game commission.
