BIG GAME SCORING SESSION REMINDER
Have you scheduled an appointment to have your trophy whitetail buck, black bear or bull elk scored in the Pennsylvania Game Commission's upcoming measuring sessions for the agency's Big Game Records Program? Time is running out and it may be several years before this specialized service is offered again.
In June, the Game Commission will be conducting big game scoring sessions at various locations across the state, where hunters may bring in their deer antlers, elk antlers or bear skulls to have them officially scored for the Big Game Records Program. Current listings and rankings for the program are maintained on the agency's website (
www.pgc.state.pa.us). To ensure appropriate staffing to fulfill requests, hunters must contact region offices at least 30 days prior to the scoring session in each of the six regions to make a reservation. That means most hunters have one to three weeks to make their reservations.
