Show Notes
Pennsylvania hunters harvested a record-breaking five hundred five thousand six hundred deer in the two thousand twenty-five two thousand twenty-six seasons, a six percent increase from the previous year. The Pennsylvania Game Commission reported that both antlered and antlerless deer saw even increases, with one hundred eighty-five thousand three hundred ten bucks and three hundred twenty thousand two hundred ninety does harvested. The push for more antlerless kills through extra licenses in most wildlife management units aimed to trim herd sizes, aligning with goals of boosting forest health and curbing chronic wasting disease spread. Firearms season led with nearly three hundred thousand deer, followed by archery at one hundred eighty-two thousand and muzzleloader at twenty-four thousand. Archery proved vital in busier suburban units where gun rules are tighter. These numbers indicate that management efforts are yielding positive results, paving the way for healthier habitats across the state.
