Owls and Hawks Hunters Warned Against Killing the Wrong Kind
Joseph Kalbfus of the Pennsylvania state game commission warns county officials against indiscriminate killing of hawks and owls. A fifty cent bounty is offered for each goshawk sharpshinned hawk and great horned owl killed, but eight hawk and eight owl species in the state are protected and killing any of them carries penalties. A hundred dollar fine applies when bounty is paid on a hawk other than the great horned owl. The commission aims to prevent fraud, advising hunters during the season.
