Seen a post on Facebook saying the PA turkey season is still on has anyone heard anything different? Just a FYI I don’t have a tag just hate to see anybody sitting at home if the don’t need to because they got the wrong info if I had a tag I’d be checking it out.

It's on.

Even though our governor is a tax and spend liberal he has enough sense not to shut down hunting, trapping and fishing. Those activities are "allowed" according to a written list released several weeks ago.

Starts tomorrow!














Just kidding!

They did make one change by opening trout season early in an effort to avoid the usual crowds associated with the regular opening day.

That and he really doesn't have the power to shut down hunting.

That's one of the joys of having the PGC and PAFBC separate entities from the state government.

Good point elk, I had forgotten about that.

I wonder if a governor's mandate would overrule the PGC and/or the PAFBC

Ya beat me to it! Got the vest filled up and got up early this morn!!

I'm guessing it would take him shutting down the state completely, except for essential travel like work, grocery, doctors. I don't know though.

Would have got blown out of. the roost this morn. 45mph gusts!!!

At this point in time, I wouldn't be surprised by anything! Lol

From the PGC instagram page, I guess there were rumors circulating on social media that they were going to open it early like trout season.

If they did not have it , people would demand refunds and there's no way either one of them commie commissions would ever give back a single dollar.

I'm ready to go now. Tons of birds and just want to be in the woods

Same here. I'm heading two hours south next Thursday to fish with a buddy then five hours north to camp the first week of May, can't wait!

I has a sad. Neighboring woods from my go to spot is getting clearcut currently. The roost trees that 2 of my last 3 gobblers came from are already sawdust. Going out tomorrow to listen in a new spot. Hope folks are back to work before the second week so public land doesn't get too crowded.

I hunt a 3,500+ acre timber company Clay. Over half has been clearcut in the last five years and timbering operations continue. It has definitely changed the turkey hunting for the worse but I still manage to get one every year.

All you can really do is scout, like you said.

My KY trip got cancelled from state not selling to nonresidents..

West Virginia sent an email saying we'll a go which I may do since KY cancelled..

PA a go too but it's about 2 good throws away..

Lots of birds out there this year, with some big hammers struttin' their stuff.

Ours opens tomorrow also wife went for next weeks groceries this morning said she came across 2 gobblers strutting on the edge of town in 2 different places can’t wait.

Good luck turkey hunting to all.
