NEW YEAR UNDERWAY FOR MENTORED YOUTH HUNTING PROGRAM
Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today reminded experienced hunters, who have historically helped pass along the state's rich hunting heritage, that the new license year means another year to begin introducing youths to hunting through the Mentored Youth Hunting Program (MYHP).
"Pennsylvania's hunters have an remarkable opportunity to introduce those under the age of 12 to hunting," Roe said. "Hunting is deeply woven into the cultural fabric that is Pennsylvania, and it is important that we recruit new hunters to carry on this tradition."
Roe noted that the logic behind the Mentored Youth Hunting Program is simple and clear: create expanded youth hunting opportunities without compromising safety afield.
