Pennsylvania Spring Turkey
Gobbler Season To Open May 6
Pennsylvania hunters were re
minded this week by the Game
Commission that the state’s first

Monday, May 6. The season
closes at 10 a.m. on Saturday,
May 11."
Special rules will apply for
the experimental season. Only
bearded turkeys will be legal
game. Shooting hours will be
from one-half hour before sun
rise until 10 a.m EDST and tur
key hunters should be out of the
woods by 11 a.m
Hunting shall be by calling
only, “organized driving” or one
group of hunters trying to
“push” birds into a second wait
ing group is forbidden.

keys fiom a blind are illegal.

no larger than No. 2 and bows
and arrows will be permitted,
while the use of rifles and pis
tols is prohibited. However,
combination over/under rifle
shotguns can be used providing
the hunter does not have single
ball ammunition for the rifle
in his possession.
Only one turkey may be taken
by a hunter per license year.
Killing, or attempting to kill, a
second turkey during a single
license year is illegal. Hunters
who took turkeys last fall are
prohibited from taking second
birds in May.
Hunting turkeys through use
of recorded calls or electroni
cally amplified imitations is
forbidden by law.
A successful hunter who har
vests a bearded turkey during
the spring season will be re
quired to detach the turkey tag
supplied with his license and
attach the tag to the bird with
in one hour, and before trans
porting or removing the turkey
in any manner from where it
was killed, according to Game
Commission Law Enforcement
Division Chief James A Brown.
Failure to tag the turkey sub
jects the person to a fine.
If the bird is lawfully taken
by a person not required to se
cure a license (such as a farm
er hunting on his own or adja
cent land), the hunter must
make and attach a tag within
the time specified aftei such
killing, bearing in plain English
the name and address of the
hunter and the date and county
where the turkey was taken.
Hunters are not required to file
a repoit with the Game Com
mission on turkeys taken
In i espouse to numerous
questions, Brown also offered
these guidelines hunters may
enter the woods prim to one
half hour before sunrise pro
viding no attempt is made to
hunt foi or kill a turkey prior to
one-half hour before sunrise;
hunteis who harvested turkeys
last fall may accompany hunt
ing companions and operate a
turkey call, providing they are
not in possession of a gun or
bow and arrows, and in no way
attempt to take a second turkey;
and manually operated mouth
or hand calls may be used
Questionnaires c o nc e r ning
hunter activity will be placed on
automobiles by Game Protec
tors, biologists and Cooperative
Wildlife Research Unit person
nel Field suiveys will also be
conducted in an effort to evalu
ate the experimental gobbler
season
Hunters are urged to cooper
ate with the Game Commission’s
surveys and regulations, es
pecially concerning the shoot
ing ot bearded buds only and
within legal hours, so that an
accuiate appraisal of the experi
mental season can be made as
to the value of the season and
whether or not it should be con
tinued in the futuie.
RAINFALL HELPS
Germination of vegetables has
been helped by recent rams, the
State Crop Reporting Service
says
The rainfall aided the growth,
of fall-seeded grains. Rye is be

areas of the state and a small
amount of barley is in the early
stage of development
Although some scattered light
frosts were reported by fruit
growers, damage is light In the
southern areas, apples are now
