On behalf of our members and our Board of Directors, I would like to say that it is a pleasure and a privilege to work together with the dedicated personnel of the Pennsylvania Game Commission on issues affecting the conservation of our valuable wildlife resources. The professional biologists, land managers and law enforcement officers of the Game Commission continue to do an outstanding job of managing wild turkeys and the other wildlife of the Commonwealth and we would like to compliment them on their work. Thank you for the chance to comment on proposed changes to regulations affecting hunting seasons, bag limits and public use of State Game Lands. We have reviewed the agenda items and proposals affecting wild turkey hunting opportunities and the use of state game lands during the spring gobbler hunting season. The Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation agrees with the proposal to limit the use of non-motorized vehicles on state game lands between the second Saturday in April and the last Saturday in May. Our chapter commends the Commission for attempting to provide additional recreational opportunity to turkey hunters within the guidelines of the Wild Turkey Management Plan for Pennsylvania. The proposal to expand spring gobbler hunting hours is an example of forward-thinking on the part of the Game Commission. The Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation supports the proposal to allow spring gobbler hunting until 5:00 PM.
