The 2008 first-day preliminary harvest compares with 1,005 in 2007; 1,461 in 2006; 2,026 in 2005; 1,573 in 2004; 1,454 in 2003;1,348 2002; 1,812 in 2001; and 1,691 in 2000.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission, in coming weeks, will use a telephone survey to measure the attitudes of Pennsylvanians on black bear population levels, their management and nuisance bear activity.
