Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 23,1982—117
Good hunting for
HARRISBURG Penn
sylvania’s hunters are expected to
find rather good populations of
grouse and squirrels during.the
latter part of this month following
the opening of the early small
game season last Saturday.
Seasons on most of the other
species of small game do not open
until Oct. 30.
Wildlife population surveys just
completed by the Game Com
mission indicate the upswing in
grouse numbers is continuing and
squirrels remain at relatively high
levels, with local exceptions.
Of the 128 district game
protectors surveyed, fourteen
reported excellent grouse
populations, 72 rated numbers as
good, 40 figured they had fair
supplies, while just two predicted
poor hunting in 1962. Largest
numbers of the state’s bird are in
western, northcentral and nor
theastern sections of the state.
Grouse harvests have risen
sharply in recent seasons, going
from about a quarter million birds
IN
STOCK
grouse, squirrels
annually during the 1972-78 period
to over a half million in 1961.
According to conservation of
ficers, squirrel hunting should be
excellent in 14 districts and good in
72 others. Forty officers rate
populations of bushytails as only
fair, while two anticipate poor
hunting. Squirrels seem most
numerous in eastern counties.
Pennsylvania hunters harvest
more squirrels than any other
game animal. Last year, ac
cording to commission surveys,
hunters took over 3 million.
Squirrel harvests have been rising
also, climbing from 1.3 million m
1978.
Studies show about 570,000
persons hunted grouse in Penn
sylvania last year. About 700,000
hunted squirrels
Six squirrels may be taken daily.
Hunters may have twelve in
possession after the opening day.
Hunters may take two grouse per
day, with a possession limit of four.
The initial season for squirrel
and grouse will end on Saturday,
Nov. 27. An extended or winter
season for squirrel and grouse will
open statewide Monday, Dec. 27.
TTie season closes statewide on
squirrels on Jan. 8. Grouse hunting
in the late season will continue
through Jan. 29, except in twelve
counties where it closes Jan. 8.
Along with early season squirrel
and grouse hunting, woodcock and
common or Wilson’s snipe can also
be hunted starting Oct.
