ment in these urban/suburban areas.” Board adds fall turkey to the MYHP line-up The Board gave final approval to fall turkey seasons for 2012 and spring gobbler dates for 2013, and added fall turkey to the line-up of game animals open to those participating in the Mentored Youth Hunting Program (MYHP). The fall season dates for 2012: Oct. 27-Nov. 10 and Nov. 22-24 for WMUs 1A, 1B, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2E, 4A, 4B and 4D; Oct. 27-Nov. 16 and Nov. 22-24 for WMUs 2B, 2F, 2G, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 4C and 4E. Also, fall season dates of Oct. 30-Nov. 1 were set for WMU 5A.

Remaining closed for the fall seasons are WMUs 5B, 5C and 5D. In related action, the Board gave final approval to remove the sporting arm limitations for fall turkey hunting in WMUs 1A, 1B and 2A, which had been limited to the use of shotguns, crossbows or bows. While this allows fall turkey hunters to now use rifles in these three WMUs, the use of rifles in that small portion of Allegheny County (a designated Special Regulations Area county) in 2A, will continue to be prohibited, just like all of 2B. With the expanded use of rifles for fall turkey hunting in those WMUs, the Board gave preliminary approval to a change in regulations governing the mandatory wearing of fluorescent orange to be consistent with the present orange requirements for all other WMUs in which rifles have been allowed to be used for fall turkey hunting. Specifically, fall turkey hunters in WMUs 1A, 1B and 2A now will be required to wear a hat containing a minimum of 100 square inches of orange while moving or relocating and, if the orange hat is removed, to post an orange band within 15 feet of their stationary hunting location. For the 2013 spring gobbler season, April 27-May 31, the Board continued the change in hunting hours to reflect the following: from April 27 until May 11, shooting hours will be one-half hour before sunrise until noon; and from May 13-31, hunters may hunt all day, from one-half hour before sunrise until one-half hour after sunset. The one-day Spring Gobbler Youth Hunt is set for April 20, which will run from one-half hour before sunrise until noon. All junior license holders and Mentored Youth Hunting Program permit holders may hunt in this one-day season, as well as the regular spring season. Additionally, the Board adopted a
