MCKEAN COUNTY DEER SEASON 2023
by John Dzemyan. Retired Conservation Officer/Land Manager, Pennsylvania Game Commission
McKean County hunters will have a good opportunity to harvest a doe or a buck when the regular Pennsylvania two-week rifle deer season opens up on Saturday, November 25th.
The overall deer population has been on the increase over the past ten years in McKean County, and in the past two or three years that has become obvious to most of the people who live or hunt here.
Twenty-three years ago under the guidance of Wildlife Biologist Gary Alt the Pennsylvania Game Commission encouraged and enabled hunters to harvest more antlerless deer to allow the forests in McKean County to recover some of its natural deer habitat. It worked. Deer numbers were down from 2005 to 2012 with lower levels of deer than most people or hunters saw in the past 70 to 80 years in this area. But now the deer have made a comeback.

Rep. Owlett Warns About Scam
PA State Rep. Clint Owlett
Scammers claiming to be from the PA Treasury have been calling participants in the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program and asking for bank account information in an effort to steal valuable personal data.
You should know that no one from the state will ever call and ask for bank information for this program. In this scam, the caller claims the information is needed so a rebate payment can be made by direct deposit.
Remember, you should never give out your bank account information or other personal financial information simply because someone calls and asks for it.
The best way to contact the PA Treasury with questions about a rebate is with the form available at www.patreasury.gov/contact.
