In addition to the MGBL, hunters aged 16 and older must also obtain a Federal Waterfowl Stamp, which can be acquired electronically this season. The Pennsylvania Game Commission reports that significant changes include a reduced daily bag limit for Canada geese, reflecting concerns over declining populations. For those looking to stay informed and…
