Deer season changes spark much debate

– Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

By Bob Frye, TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Pennsylvania Game Commissioners gave preliminary approval to hunting and trapping seasons and bag limits for 2010-11 at their meeting Tuesday in Harrisburg. As usual, it was a change in the always-controversial deer hunting seasons that sparked the most debate.

Commissioners raised the number of units in which doe hunting won\’t start until the first Saturday of the two-week season from four to eight. Units 2D, 2G, 3C and 4B were managed under those guidelines last year and will be again. This year, though, units 2C, 2E, 4D and 4E will join them.

In those eight units, hunters will be able to shoot bucks only from Nov. 29 to Dec. 3, then bucks and does from Dec. 4-11.

In the rest of the state, hunters will be able to shoot both bucks and does during the full two-week season, which stretches from Nov. 29 to Dec. 11.
