Hunters Advised To Check Status Of State Forest Roads

Hunters heading into Pennsylvania’s state forests for the opening of black bear and deer seasons may find some roads newly opened while others remain closed for a number of reasons, Bureau of Forestry Director Dan Devlin announced last week.
           “Hunters should check in advance with our state forest districts about their travel plans and access to favorite hunting grounds,” Devlin said. “We encourage them to visit our new website listing state forest roads, trails and hunting areas that may be closed or altered due to gas drilling activities, road construction, timber harvesting and flooding.”
            Meanwhile, an additional 442 miles of state forest roads in 18 of the 20 state forest districts will be open for the statewide four-day bear season, Nov. 19 and Nov. 21-23. Throughout the state’s other hunting seasons, running into January 2012, hunters will find more than 3,000 miles of state forest roadways open.
