S=! Lancail tar Farmim Small game to open this Another surge in Penn sylvania's fall hunting ac tivities will be recorded with the opening of the early small game season and the season on two migratory game bird species on Saturday, October 11. Squirrel, grouse, Wilson’s or Jacksnipe and woodcock will be the species that can be hunted on that date. Seasons on most of the other small game species open two • weeks later. Squirrels have probably been the most un derharvested small game species in the state for many seasons. Last year, about two million busytails were taken in Pennsylvania, and field reports indicate that there should be a fairly good supply of squirrels this year, with local exceptions. Some concentrations of grouse can be found throughout the state, and hunters this year may again approach the harvest figure of 225,000 birds taken in 1974. Local populations of woodcock and snipe provide stimulating opportunities for hunters, and migrating birds add to the hunting ex citement associated with these fine game species. Hunters are permited to take six squirrels daily, and may have twelve in their possession after the opening day of the season. Two grouse may be taken per day, with a possession limit of four after the first day of the season. The daily limit on snipe is eight, with a possession limit of sixteen, while five woodcock may be taken daily, with no more than ten in possession. The initial season for squirrel and grouse and the season for snipe and woodcock will end on November 29.
