Hunting and Fishing: EARLY MIGRATORY BIRD SEASONS SET/cnbnews.net

EARLY MIGRATORY BIRD SEASONS SET

Changes this year will allow hunters to keep more birds in their possession.

Pennsylvania’s early migratory bird seasons have been approved, and changes this year will increase the number of birds hunters can keep in their possession.

The early seasons for mourning doves, Canada geese, woodcock and other migratory bird species break down similarly to last year.

The biggest difference is in regard to possession limits. A change in federal regulations has allowed Pennsylvania this year to increase possession limits for most migratory game birds from two times the daily bag limit to three times the daily bag limit.
