2020 hunting seasons are not canceled, despite social media rumors, game commission says

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — The Pennsylvania Game Commission is clearing things up after a post on social media claimed the 2020 hunting seasons have been canceled due to coronavirus.

“The Pennsylvania Game Commission has not suspended, altered or changed any hunting regulations, seasons or bag limits in response to the COVID-19 outbreak,” the commission said on Facebook.

The commission said that a social media post with the agency’s name and logo has been circulating claiming the hunting seasons have been canceled.

“Help us spread the word by correcting posts out there stating false information,” the commission said.
