Plenty Of Hunting Excitement Remains

Pennsylvania’s hunting license year isn’t yet halfway through, and there’s plenty of action to be experienced afield in the coming weeks and months.

Small game hunters are reminded that hunting generally closed on Saturday, Dec. 24. Seasons for pheasants, squirrels, rabbits and bobwhite quail (which hunters might encounter due to the private release of captive birds) resume on Dec. 26 and run through Feb. 27. Pennsylvania’s snowshoe hare season runs Dec. 26-31. The final segment of ruffed grouse season closed Dec. 23 and there is no after-Christmas season.
