This sign, issued by the Pennsylvania Game Commission, indicates that the area is designated as a Deer Damage Area and is specifically Open to Hunting for Antlerless Deer.
Here's what this means:
Deer Damage Area: This designation typically means that deer populations in this specific location are causing significant damage to crops, timber, or other property, prompting the need for increased deer management efforts.
Open to Hunting for Antlerless Deer: To mitigate this damage, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has authorized hunting specifically for antlerless deer (does and young deer without antlers) in this area. This is often part of programs like the Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) or the Agricultural Deer Control Program (Ag Tag), which allow landowners to manage deer populations on their property to reduce damage.
Contact Information: The spaces for "Owner:" and "Telephone:" are provided for landowners to fill in their contact details, allowing hunters interested in participating in antlerless deer hunting on that specific property to reach out for permission and details regarding access.
P-213,90: This is likely an internal identification number or form code used by the Pennsylvania Game Commission for this specific type of sign or program.
In essence, the sign informs hunters that they can pursue antlerless deer in this location, likely requiring coordination with the listed landowner, as part of a broader deer management strategy to control deer populations and reduce damage in that particular area.
