Deer Season For Archers Ends
Kill reports for 73 antlered deer
were received in the Game Com-
mission’s Harrisburg office shortly
after October 22, the close of the
bow hunters’ exclusive buck seas-
on. It is anticipated the total will
be much higher when recording is
completed.
According to the Department of
Revenue 17,329 persons bought a
license for the two-week bow and
arrow deer hunt in Pennsylvania.
Successful hunters are reminded
of the legal requirement their kill
be reported promptly.
Hunting License Sales Mount
In the 1954 Pennsylvania hunt-
ing license year, which ended Aug-
ust 31, 1955, residents of the state
secured 869,286 licenses; non-resi-
dents accounted for 30,827.
The 1953 licenses numbered 859,-
783 resident; 30,664 non-resident.
For the 1952 license the totals
were 830,779 and 32,042.
These figures do not truly indic-
ate the number of persons who
hunt in Pennsylvania, however.
Any citizen of the state who resides
upon and regularly and continuous-
ly cultivates land for general farm
purposes, truck growing, orchards
or nurseries, operated on a com-
mercial basis, may hunt or trap
thereon without license. Under
these conditions a person may also
hunt or trap, with the written con-
sent of the owner or lessee, upon
lands connected with his own, oth-
er than those publicly-owned, with-
out a hunter’s license.

Sportsmen Practice Golden Rule
At this time of year much hunter
talk concerns game season pros-
pects and where cottontail rabbits
and ring-necked pheasants—called
farm game—may be bagged.
In this connection sportsmen’s
organizations and many individual
hunters across Pennsylvania have
come to consider the farmer in his
true light of host during the small
game season. They understand the
right-to-hunt anywhere attitude is
a carry-over from the “old days”,
knowing that wildlife is in public
ownership but control over the land
on which it is hunted is with the
farm occupant.
Now, real sportsmen ask the
farmer for the privilege of hunting
on his property. Their gratitude for
enjoyable hours there is expressed
in thanks, often in a gift. In short,
the picture has changed with the
times.

man here, wild animals and birds
supplied necessary items of food
and clothing, as well as meat and
pelts for trade. Even until the
1900’s hunting for game was, to
most persons, a casual matter, The
situation is far different today.
Many hunters now gun principally
for sport and recreation; for them
the fruit of the chase is of second-
ary consideration.
With increased home building, in-
dustrial growth and an ever-ex-
panding highway system much land
that once provided open hunting
has been lost to the sport. Shorter
working hours, increased leisure
time and ease of travel have result-
ed in far more hunting pressure
than previously.
The Game Commission reminds
all hunters that courtesy, consider-
ation and safe shooting provide the
ingredients that open, or keep open,
the remaining hunting territory in
rural areas. Sportsmen practice the
Golden Rule while hunting. That is
all that is necessary to ensure that
the good people on the land will
welcome them back in the game
season.
Seasons For Furbearers
The fur bearers of Pennsylvania
still have great value in terms of
dollar return and outdoor enjoy-
ment, though the market for some
wild-caught pelts remains low. It
was therefore desirable that the
Game Commission consider each
species individually before defining
fur seasons for the coming license
period. This was done in July, not
only to decide the number that
could be safely harvested and re-
tain sufficient brood stock, but to
for their effect on small game. The
evaluate certain predaceous species
reasons behind the Commission's
decision on each of the fur animals
follows:
Skunks and Opossums—Extreme-
ly low prevailing prices for the pelt
of both these species has resulted
in an increase to such an extent
that they constitute a definite men-
ace to ground nesting game birds
and animals. This, therefore, moti-
vated the Commission’s decision to
continue the removal of protection
from both for an indefinite period.
Minks—The population of minks
appears to remain steady with the
fur value reduced in comparison to
past years. It is considered advis-
able, inasmuch as the interest in
taking minks is based primarily
upon the value obtained from the
fur, that the season should be set
in accordance with the primeness
of the pelts. The opening date set
was reasoned to be the most logical
to accommodate fairly trappers in
both the upper and lower tiers of
the Commonwealth,
Muskrats — Population trends in
muskrats continue to be favorably
reported, leading the Commission to
the conclusion that it would be safe
to set a season substantially com-
parable to that of last year. The
opening date was established with
the belief that the early part of
December marks the most advan-
tageous time to begin taking mus-
krats to secure maximum fur value.
The closing date allows this fur-
bearer to be taken up to the period
when damaged pelts would be ex-
pected to show. Considering all
factors, the season established
should prove to be most satisfac-
tory for the entire State.
Beavers—Reports from practically
all sections of the State indicate
that the beaver population is about
the same as last year. Depreciated
fur values continue to be reflected
in the lack of interest in trapping.
The Commission therefore moved to
again extend the season beyond the
usual two-week period and declared
an open season from February 15
to March 5, 1956, inclusive, a seas-
on comparable to that of 1955.
Otters — Within their limited
range, the otter population has suf-
fered an appreciable decline over

the past few years. The Commission
is desirous to establish otters in cer-

they have existed in the past,
which, coupled with the decline in
the general population, led to the
conclusion that the season for otters
should be closed during the 1955
license period.
