Hunting mentors who accompany more than one child through big-game hunting seasons may soon be able to take advantage of a rule change.
The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners recently gave preliminary approval to a measure that would provide all mentored hunters, including those under 7-years-old, with big-game harvest tags.
Currently, mentored hunters younger than 7 do not receive antlered deer, fall turkey and spring turkey harvest tags with their permits which means the mentor needs to use their own appropriate tag in the event of a harvest. The goal of this proposal is to improve access to the mentored hunting program and expand hunting opportunities within it.
This measure will receive a vote for final approval at the Game Commission’s next meeting in January.
