Governor's Executive Budget Program Measures
Number of hunting licenses sold

hunting season or fiscal year. PA Game Commission does not receive state
appropriations. Hunting license revenue is an important funding source,
accounting for approximately 32 percent of agency revenue in state fiscal year
2020. Hunting license sales is an important measure as it relates to the
fiscal solvency of the agency so PGC can continue to increase investments in
the management and protection of wildlife and its habitat.
Citations for violation of game laws
Total citations issued for the applicable hunting season
or fiscal year. The variance in citations between years is a measurement
of the results of law enforcement activities conducted to protect wildlife and
its habitat for current and future generations.
