Rabbit, Dove Seasons to Open to Mentored Youth
Changes likely will become effective in mid-November.
Mentored youth hunters will see new opportunities in the 2015-16 license year.
The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners recently gave final approval to a measure that adds rabbits and mourning doves to the list of species mentored youth hunters may pursue. The changes likely will become effective in mid-November, after a mandatory review process.
Link to PA Game CommissionThe Mentored Youth Hunting Program was established in 2006 as a way to give youth under the age of 12 an opportunity to experience hunting in a tightly controlled setting under the close supervision of an adult mentor. In the interest of safety, the adult mentor and mentored youth, together, may possess only one sporting arm between them while hunting, and the adult must carry it at all times while moving. The mentored youth then may hold the sporting arm once the pair takes a stationary position.
When the measure takes effect, mentored youth hunters also will need a migratory game bird license to hunt and harvest mourning doves
