Header Border A banner reflecting the mission of the Pennsylvania Game Commission, which manages the state's game, furbearer and wildlife populations. The PGC sets hunting and trapping seasons and regulations that govern the taking of white-tailed deer, black bear, elk, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, ring-necked pheasants and migratory waterfowl, as well as the eastern coyote, bobcat and beaver. It manages reintroduced species, threatened species and endangered species such as the bald eagle, fisher, river otter and peregrine falcon, as well as nongame species that include neotropical migratory birds such as the ruby-throated hummingbird, bobolink, whip-poor-will and rose-breasted grosbeak, as well as year-round resident species such as the American goldfinch, eastern bluebird, great-horned owl and pileated woodpecker. This website provides information about the PGC's State Game Lands system; Middle Creek and Pymatuning Wildlife Management Areas; the Hunter-Trapper Education Program, State Wildlife Grants Program and Deer Management Assistance Program, as well as wildlife news, hunting news, wildlife photographs, nuisance wildlife assistance and conservation history.Home Header Border
