Wild Turkey Supply
To Be Supplemented
The Pennsylvania Game
Commission has 3,250 turkeys in
four hardening areas throughout
the state to supplement the
natural supply of wild birds
which will be available to hunters
this fall.
The birds were raised at the
Commission’s State Wild Turkey
Farm in Lycoming County and
then transferred at the age of 12
to 14 weeks to the hardening
areas. They will be released later
this month on lands which are
open to public hunting.
There are no birds in hardening
pens in the Northcentral and
Southcentral Field Divisions this
year, since ample supplies of
these birds are produced in the
wild in these areas.
Hardening pens are about 40-
acre tracts located in prime wild
turkey habitat and enclosed with
high wire mesh fences. Here the
birds have complete freedom
under conditions similar to those
Turn the Light Off
The light in your oven is to aid
you in seeing the progress of your
baking or roasting. Extension
foods and nutrition specialists at
Pennsylvania State University
say you shouldn’t bake with the
light on continuously. The light
throws extra heat into the corner
of the oven where it’s located and
can possibly cause uneven
baking.
