• Canada Goose hunting will again be permitted in Pennsylvania state parks when the season opens Sept. 1.

Those interested should contact individual park offices for local starting dates and other details as some parks are closed to hunting. Also, with the early season starting date falling prior to Labor Day, some parks will not allow hunting until Tuesday, Sept. 6, the day after Labor Day.

Those with disabilities who want to hunt geese in the early season should contact specific state parks for further information. State park information can be found at DCNR's website: www.dcnr.state.pa.us (select State Parks).
