Two Day Season Open For Antlerless Deer In Pennsylvan
Harrisburg AP Hunters head back to the woods for a two day antlerless deer season in Pennsylvania after the buck season closed. State Game Commission official M J Golden expects about 175000 hunters to seek deer over the two days. Nearly all 204450 licenses have been sold though turnout may be lower due to the rule allowing one deer per hunter and the anticipated bag of at least 82000 antlerless deer. Golden notes five fatal and ten non fatal hunting accidents this season and urges extra safety.
