The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners gave final approval earlier this week, to a measure that makes four additional electronic devices lawful to use while hunting.
However, using the newly approved devices will not be legal until the changes are published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, in approximately six to eight weeks.
Once that happens, hunters will be able to use electronic decoys in hunting waterfowl; electronic dove decoys used solely for hunting doves; electronically heated scent or lure dispensers; and electronic devices that distribute ozone gas for scent-control purposes.
Electronic devices generally are prohibited for hunting use in Pennsylvania, but in reviewing the devices that were approved for hunting use, the Game Commission identified no negative impacts that would result from their use.
