'Heads up!' You Turkeys

There's a piece in the Pottsville (PA) Republican [or is it the Republican-Herald?] by Ron Steffe on 6 May 2007 that could be of interest to Appalachian Trail hikers. It's an article turkey hunters titled "State forests prime setting to bag turkey."

Twice in the article, Steffe mentions that access to good Pennsylvania hunting grounds can be had "by hiking on the Appalachian Trail." This is true.

While hunting on the Trail itself is not allowed, hikers need to remember that the Trail in Pennsylvania runs through a lot of Game Commission and State Forest property and that hunters have the right to hunt there.
