sylvania’s thirteenth spring
gobbler hunting season will
get underway throughout the
state one half hour before
sunrise on Saturday, April
26. The season ends on May
17.
In recent years, normal
nesting activities during
spring months have been
delayed by cold, wet
weather, generally resulting
m a slow start during the
scheduled spring gobbler
hunt.
Although there have been
losses of birds during severe
weather in recent winters,
there were no reports of
dead birds having been
found during the 1979-80
winter months. Preliminary
reports indicate that there
should be a sufficient
number of gobblers

hunting opportunities
throughout most of the

The Pennsylvania Game
Commission has designed
the spring gobbler season to
make maximum use of
renewable resource. After
breeding has occurred,
gobblers have fulfilled their
primary purpose and they
then become “excess
baggage” and expendable in
the overall turkey picture.
By late April and early
May, gobblers can be
removed without adversely
affecting the future supply of
birds. In most states which
have only one turkey season,
hunting is usually done in the
spring, rather than in the
fall.
Game Commission per
sonnel urge hunters to be
more conscious of safety

spring gobbler season. A
bird, to be legal, must have a
beard. If the hunter
positively identifies the
beard, there can be no
possibility of anyone being
shot in mistake for a turkey
during the spring gobbler
season.
To make the spring season
even more sporting, hunters
might choose to pass up
bearded hens, although
these birds are legal. A hen
has a dull slate grey or
greyish-blue head, while
gobblers usually have
colorful red, white and blue
heads.
Successful gobbler hunters
are rertiinded that many tom
turkeys have a soft breast
sponge at this time of year.
This is simply a mass of
gelatinous material located
under the skin on the
breast of the turkey. It can
be removed before cooking
the bird. The presence of the
breast sponge has no
detrimental effect on the
quality of flavor of the bird’s
meat.
Hiutters are required to
call in and properly identify
a turkey. They should not
shoot at birds which are
flying or running and
haven’t been carefully
identified.
Hunters are reminded of
the following special
regulations in effect for the
spring gobbler season:
Only bearded turkeys will
be legal game. Hunting
hours are from one half hour
before sunrise until 11 a.m.
Hunters should be out of the
woods by 12 o’clock noon.
A hunter may enter the
woods prior to one half hour
ranee to
Anthracnose plus very good
tolerance to bacterial wilt.
