Pennsylvania Game Commission Northeast Region Director Daniel Figured announces the Northeast Region Office will be open from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 11, to accommodate persons wishing to purchase a hunting license. “There is an annual rush to purchase general hunting licenses just prior to the initial sale of antlerless deer licenses,” Figured said. “We try to accommodate the increase in demand by offering additional office hours for license sales.” On Monday, July 13, county treasurers will begin accepting antlerless license applications by mail from residents only, one per person, statewide. Normal business hours of the Game Commission Northeast Region Office are from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The office is located at 3917 Memorial Highway in Dallas.

Canines play a crucial role for our soldiers in the battlefield and also give comfort to the families at home waiting for them to come back, as well as for our veterans.

Max is rated PG so children can also attend.
