Officials in the Coal State have approved a two-week deer hunting season and banned the use of rifles for fall turkey hunting for the 2021-2022 license year.
The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners confirmed the changes on Saturday, announcing that the regular firearms deer season for antlered and antlerless deer will run from Nov. 27 through Dec. 11. For those saving the date, hunting will be open on Sunday, Nov. 28, and closed on Sunday, Dec. 5, LancasterOnline reports. According to the outlet, 10 of Pennsylvania’s 23 wildlife management units (WMUs) had two weeks of concurrent buck and doe hunting last year. The other 13 WMUs had one week of buck-only hunting, followed by a week of concurrent hunting, according to the Associated Press.More Related News
