COMMISSIONERS EXTEND SHOOTING HOURS
HARRISBURG -The Board of Game Commissioners gave final approval today to a measure to extend legal hunting hours to one-half-hour after sunset for all game and the September Canada goose season.
Under the change, the only exceptions are for migratory game birds and waterfowl, which are governed by the federal guidelines of the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act. For those species, the federal guidelines require daily hunting hours to close at sunset. However, federal guidelines provide states with the flexibility to extend shooting hours for resident populations of Canada geese during the September season.
