Pennsylvania’s early season bear harvest is behind prior years
Published: , in Outdoor News
Four years have passed since Pennsylvania recorded a record bear harvest of 4,653 in 2019, and early reports from this year make it unlikely the 2023 harvest will challenge the milestone.
Although the four-day statewide season opened on Nov. 18, the early season harvest was lagging behind previous years. According to preliminary numbers (as of Nov. 12), hunters harvested 1,201 bears in the early archery, muzzleloader and special firearms seasons combined.
