COUNTDOWN TO DEER SEASON HAS BEGUN
The state's biggest draw for hunters is set to begin the Monday after Thanksgiving, according to Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe, when the two-week firearms deer season opens.
LOCAL WHITE-TAILED DEER INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON-LINE
Interested in learning more about what's going on with whitetails in your county? Please consider visiting the Pennsylvania Game Commission's "Field Officer Forecasts" found on the agency's website (
www.pgc.state.pa.us). These reports were developed to share field officer perspectives and observations on game and furbearer trends in their respective districts and to help hunters and trappers get closer to the action afield.
DON'T FORGET TO REPORT DEER HARVEST
The Pennsylvania Game Commission counts on hunters to provide information on the deer they harvest. And, to make reporting a deer harvest easier, the Game Commission reminds hunters that they can now file their harvest reports through the agency's new online system.
HUNTERS REMINDED THAT LICENSES STILL MUST BE DISPLAYED
The omission of a regulation that has been in place for decades in this year's digest has caused some hunters and trappers to wonder whether they still are required to display their licenses in the middle of the back as has been done for many, many years. Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe answered, "Yes, it still needs to be displayed."
