Two important changes in the
illations governing hunting on the
State lands must be remembered by
Pennsylvania rabbit hnnteia during
Novembev, as well as b) those who
j will try for the'leathered same. The
! more important Is that dogs aie pro-hibited
Horn being used on any state
reservation. The reason for this
change is based upuu the statements
that hunters used dogs ostensibly [or
birds and rabbits, but actually to hunt
lor deer.
Another important change is thl 1
ipunmi nt ot a permit from the State
forestry Commission If huutcis de-sire
to camp on these lauds. No per-mit
is required If the hunters Intend
to remain for a single day.
Outside of State lands there is no
law against the use of dogs. The
.state lands embrace about
acres, and are located in the counties
