STATE GAME COMMISSION TO CONTINUE WITH SATURDAY DEER OPENER

Officials with the Pennsylvania Game Commission say they won’t change the opening day of the statewide firearms deer season. Supporters had wanted the date changed from the Saturday after Thanksgiving to Monday. The game commission board voted unanimously to keep the Saturday opener in place during its quarterly meeting over the weekend. The motion, which was preliminary, will still need final approval. That’s expected to come at the board’s April 15th meeting.
