WILDLIFE EMERGENCIES
All emergencies should be directed to the PA Game Commission Dispatch Center by calling 1-833-PGC-HUNT (1-833-742-4868) or 1-833-PGC-WILD (1-833-742-9453).
A dispatcher will contact the warden serving the county in which the emergency is taking place. We appreciate your concern for wildlife. Please keep in mind that our officers cover large expanses of land and necessarily prioritize their work load. Mother Nature is sometimes difficult to see in action.
Please note, the Game Commission will not retrieve smaller deceased animals such as foxes from roads or private property.
