Hunting in Schuylkill County
State Game Lands and other public hunting ground across Schuylkill County, by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Before you go. Season dates, bag limits, antlerless allocations, Sunday-hunting days, and fluorescent-orange requirements are set each year in the PGC Hunting & Trapping Digest — confirm the current year with the Game Commission. State Game Land coordinates here are GNIS centroids, not parking lots; pull exact parking pins from the PGC interactive mapping center.
