PAarcher Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I just moved from Michigan to PA. Anyone have any luck with PA longbeards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm23494 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Good luck with them. If you have private land to hunt you should be ok. If you are on public though good luck. There are too many people who don't know what they are doing and have them well educated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAarcher Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I kind of figured that . . . Any public land birds are going to be more challenging with the added pressure. I guess it will make me work that much harder. In PA you have to be out of the woods by noon for turkeys right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm23494 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yup, and you can't hunt on Sundays:bummed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ptbuckpa Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 that is the spring season tho, i believe fall season u follow the normal hunting hours and can take hen or gobbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I just moved from Michigan to PA. Anyone have any luck with PA longbeards? I've killed a few. Public land birds are challenging.....but definitely not impossible. Best bet is to walk farther in than the other guy is willing to. You have to be done hunting by noon in the spring. Out of the woods by 1:00. Fall season is along regular hunting hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAarcher Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 While scouting for Deer I've seen a lot of turkey sign as well as birds. I'm sure I will have to buy a turkey tag this fall and carry an extra arrow or two in the quiver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ptbuckpa Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 turkey tags come with the general license so no extra money to spend on another tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 There is a lot of public land in PA and the birds are there. Just a matter of putting your time in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah your tag system is quite a bit different than Michigans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwhite Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Just remember this in the fall you can use either rifle or shotgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsman2230 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 They arent too awful bad if you do your homework. I have killed birds on both public and private land. As long as you do your scouting you will be fine! Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
