HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today announced that the agency has made its selections for the 2012-13 migratory game bird hunting seasons and bag limits.
Annual waterfowl seasons are selected by states from a framework established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Game Commission selections were made after reviewing last year’s season results, waterfowl survey data, and input gathered from waterfowl hunters and the public. Final approval from the USFWS is expected by late September.
Roe also noted that the Game Commission will post the annual waterfowl and migratory bird season brochure and zone maps on its website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) the week of Aug. 20.
\”Many hunters already have purchased their hunting licenses and federal waterfowl stamps in anticipation of the season,\” Roe said. \”For their convenience, hunters will be able to obtain this important information from the Game Commission’s website. However, to improve efficiency and reduce printing and postage costs, the Game Commission is not mass producing the brochure and mailing copies to U.S. Post Offices.\”
