About this app

This app provides official information for the Pennsylvania hunter. Resources include an interactive map with many useful layers, season dates, regulations, alerts, and more.

Features:
What’s Near Me?- Use the hunter-focused interactive map to find places of interest that are nearest to your current location. Use the distance slider and layer options to filter results. Layers include: state game lands, license sale outlets, wildlife management unit boundaries, waterfowl zones, state parks, state forests, hunter access locations, pheasant release sites, region offices and more.

What’s in Season?- Find hunting seasons by searching by species, date, or WMU. Quick reference to fluorescent orange requirements and legal hunting hours.

Share Location- Share your GPS coordinates with a loved one in case of an emergency.

Report a Harvest- Reporting your harvest has never been easier. Simply click and report online.

Licenses and Permits- Find a local license issuing agent or purchase your license or permit online. Check the status of your antlerless deer, elk or controlled goose hunt application.

Contact the Game Commission- If you witness a crime against wildlife, click to report your sighting. You can also reach out to your Game Commission region office to ask questions about hunting and wildlife or report a road-killed animal.

Ratings and reviews

It's a good start, but both the app and website need work. The Report Harvest link sends you to the digital rules and hunting info, not the report page. It has been cumbersome to use. The map function requires a login for ArcGIS. I'm not sure what that means.

PGC claims you can report a harvest in the app. You log in to the app, find Report a Harvest (in a very counterintuitive place), and all it does is open a browser window - where you have to log in again. Dishonest to claim you can report in app. You can't.

The application is ok, however, marking the app as PHONE ONLY is one of the fastest way to have it UNINSTALLED. With applications growing in size, and forcing it to install on the limited phone memory is a no-no for me. Uninstalling this now, maybe I will revisit it when it is changed.
