If I was to call a regional office, would the PGC know how many acres are available to hunt on a co-op farm? Saw one yesterday, checked on the map on the pgc website and it is a no restictions area. Only thing is...I don't know how much land is available to hunt and don't know who to ask. Thanks for any help.

You need to contact the land owner directly. The landowner can answer both questions.


For those that don't know, permission to hunt a Co-op property is required. Being i the Co-op only means that it is listed and available for hunting. Not that it is available to hunt without permission.


A great program with some 3.5 million acres enrolled. Just about equal to the combined total of game land and the state forest system.

Where to find all these possible hunting lands?

Go to the GC site:

http://www.pgc.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/pgc/9106

Then look on the right side in the gray box - find hunter access and click on it.


This is the Co-op program - both forest and Ag and links to public land as well.

I heard that a co-op propert has to have at least 50 acres?

To become a Safety Zone Program cooperator, the owner or person in legal control of a farm, containing a minimum of 50 acres, executes a simple agreement with the Game Commission. This agreement may be cancelled upon 60 days written notice.


All info is in the links on the page.

Thanks bluetick...i think this was a safety zone co-op farm because there was a pgc safety zone poster above the blue and gold co-op farm sign...
