Deer hunters can file their harvest reports through the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s online system, the toll-free Interactive Voice Response harvest reporting system phone number, which is 855-PAHUNT1 (855-724-8681) or via postage-paid postcard.

To report online, go to the website at www.pgc.state.pa.us, and click on “Report Your Harvest” above the “Quick Clicks” box in the right-hand column, check “Harvest Reporting,” scroll down and click on the “Start Here” button at the bottom of the page. Choose the method of validating license information and click on the checkbox for the harvest tag being reported.

Hunters who use the toll-free number will receive a confirmation number, which they should write down and keep as proof of reporting. Those who report online should print or save a copy of their harvest report submission as proof of reporting.

Game Commission Executive Director Carl Roe said hunters still have the option to file harvest report postcards, which are included as tear-out sheets in the current digest.
