EXCITEMENT BUILDING FOR THE FALL TURKEY SEASON
The Pennsylvania Game Commission reports that sizeable wild turkey populations await hunters across the Commonwealth, but finding them may be a challenge because fall foods are in great supply in many areas.
LOCAL WILD TURKEY INFORMATION ALSO AVAILABLE ONLINE
Each year, Pennsylvania Game Commission field officers and foresters develop game forecasts for the areas they work to share with interested hunters and trappers. Observations on local wild turkey populations are always a part of this annual offering. The Pennsylvania Game Commission's "Field Officer Game and Furbearer Forecasts" can be found centered on the homepage of the agency's website -
www.pgc.state.pa.us. Developed to share field officer perspectives and observations on game and furbearer trends in their respective districts and to help hunters and trappers get closer to the action afield, this information helped many sportsmen and sportswomen have more enjoyable days afield last year.
DOGS ALLOWED IN FALL TURKEY SEASON
The Pennsylvania Game Commission reminds hunters that a new state law permits wild turkey hunters to use dogs in the upcoming fall season, which begins Oct. 27.
TURKEY HUNTERS URGED TO BE ATTENTIVE, SAFE
Every fall, hunters head into Pennsylvania's forests and woodlots in pursuit of wild turkeys. According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, it's one of autumn's greatest competitions as hunters try to call in their quarries. It's also a time when hunters really need to be in tune with their surroundings.
