State game lands in Indiana and 11 other counties due to receive pheasants ahead of Saturday’s statewide pheasant season has seen stocking activities delayed.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission announced that heavy snowfall at the commission’s Southwest Game Farm near the town of Distant in Mahoning Township, Armstrong County damaged some netting, leaving pheasant enclosures in bad need of repairs. As such, there were many birds loose on the grounds and Game Commission staff are working to get them back into the enclosures.
The stocking for state game lands and other properties in Indiana, Bedford, Blair, Clinton, Clearfield, Elk, Fulton, Greene, Huntingdon, Jefferson, McKean and Warren counties will take place one week later than originally scheduled, on October 25th to the 28th. Pheasants not released this week will be gradually added to the in-season and winter-season releases for those counties.
