Last weekend while turkey hunting on state game lands in SW PA I heard a number of ringnecks crowing. The area is managed fairly intensively for pheasants. I sure hope that the PGC has released hens in that area.
It brings up the thought "should hens be legal game in the Commonwealth"?
They are not in most areas of SW PA. But I have seen game lands in NW PA that are well managed where hens are legal game.
I am aware that it would be rare that a pen raised hen could pull off a clutch in the wild. But isn't the chance that it could worth protecting hens statewide?
By the way I did shoot a dandy long beard!
