Board votes to keep baiting as an option in Southeast Special Regulations Area.
The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners today ensured deer hunters in the Southeast Special Regulations Area will continue to have the option to apply for permits to use mechanical feeders to dispense bait at hunting locations on private property.
The board first voted to create deer-attractant permits in 2014, but attached to the measure a sunset clause that would force the board to revisit the issue in 2017. The board today gave final approval to a measure that removes the sunset clause to allow the permits to continue being issued.
