PRELIMINARY BEAR HARVEST MOVES TO NINTH PLACE
With an additional 291 bears taken during the extended bear season that was open last week in certain parts of the state, Pennsylvania Game Commission preliminary harvest reports accounted for 2,356 bears, which moves this year's harvest into ninth place in state bear harvests. Updated preliminary results also now show that the second-ever, two-day archery bear season resulted in a harvest of 41, and the statewide three-day season resulted in a harvest of 2,024.
Official total bear harvest figures for all three seasons won't be available until early 2008, after a detailed review of the each harvest report is completed.
