Just got this email.

Senate Bill 123 (Scavello) would amend Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to permit hunting with the use of birds of prey commonly known as falconry on Sundays. Passed: 47-0.

Not quite sure how I feel about this, although, admittedly it seems pretty cool. Certainly beats hiking far into the woods pre-dawn in sub-freezing temperatures and climbing into a tree stand to fall asleep.

Can I use a semi-auto Falcon?

Can I use a semi-auto Falcon?

Yes, but you have to trap it yourself.

Does the falcon have to wear orange?

But when can I use my atlatl with a silencer on Sundays and will it overlap falconry hunting?
Can I use a Falcon on top of my atlatl? And for 1966 Chevy II owners, it's not right that Falcons are the only ones that can be used in full auto or semi!
This hunting thing is really getting confusing! I think I'll read my PaF&BC 2017 Fishing Digest for a few hours.

I just wish the F&G people weren't under such tight control of the Falconry Lobby.

Being a self proclaimed "bird nerd", I find this highly interesting. I admire birds of prey. They are pretty efficient predators. Have you guys ever heard of minkenry?

Sorry for the link. I have been here since the inception of the sight and still don't know how to embed a stinkin video.
