2008-09 MIGRATORY GAME BIRD SEASONS AND BAG LIMITS SELECTED
Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today announced that the agency has made its selections for the 2008-09 migratory game bird hunting seasons and bag limits.
"Waterfowl and migratory game bird hunters will see some changes, including modifications to the Canada goose zone boundaries and expanded opportunities for wood ducks, Atlantic brant and doves," Roe said. "However, the season for canvasbacks has been closed for 2008-09, and bag limits for scaup have been modified."
Annual waterfowl seasons are selected by states from a framework established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Game Commission selections were made after reviewing last year's season results, waterfowl survey data, and input gathered from waterfowl hunters and the public. Final approval from the USFWS is expected by late September.
