PA Bulletin, Doc. No. 13-562

[ 58 PA. CODE CH. 139 ]

[ Correction ]

Seasons and Bag Limits

 Two errors occurred in the proposed rulemaking which appeared at 43 Pa.B. 1712, 1715 (March 30, 2013). In the preamble, the time period for incidental fisher captures in WMUs 3A, 3D and 4E was incorrect. In § 139.4 (relating to seasons and bag limits for the license year), the listing for ''Deer, Archery (Antlered and Antlerless) WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D'' was incomplete. The correct version of this text is as follows, with ellipses referring to the remaining text of the proposed rulemaking.

1. Purpose and Authority

*  *  *  *  *

 Concerning furbearer seasons, the Commission is proposing to increase the daily and season bag limit for beaver to 20 daily, 20 per season in WMUs 2C and 5C. Increases in nuisance complaints warrant this change which is consistent with the Beaver Management Plan. Also, the numbers and density of incidental fisher captures during the past 3 years in WMUs 3A, 3D and 4E are comparable to those observed in WMUs currently open to harvest and would warrant adding these WMUs to the list of WMUs with an established fisher trapping season.
