1 DZ PHEASANT EGGS SHIPPING TODAY OR TOMORROW PA

[ticks]

The hatchery I got mine from didn't ask for a permit so I guess I didn't need one.

The seller or hatchery is the one who should be providing the Permit info. You only need a permit in most cases if you intend to sell (eggs, birds, etc - even carcasses, feathers in some cases). This does vary by state, so its important to know your own state regulations regarding wild species.

So what if someone in PA were to give you their pheasants that they've have for a few years?

 

[hinkjc]

They (person giving) are required to provide you with their permit (PRP #) that identifies them as the original owner, so you can prove where you obtained them from. The goal is to stop folks from taking them from the wild. There are also PA Game Commission requirements for pen sizes and routine inspections are mandatory (typically unannounced).

Heres some of the rules set forth by PGC on wild game birds.

Sec. 2930. Propagating permits.

(a) Authorization. - No person shall propagate any game bird, wild bird, game animal or wild animal which is presently found in a wild state within this Commonwealth for the purpose of sale, barter, gift or other transfer of possession, or offer to sell or barter, unless that person has first obtained a permit from the commission authorizing the propagation of a game bird, wild bird, game animal or wild animal.

All pens, shelters or enclosures used to hold game or wildlife under authority of a propagating permit shall provide for the health and comfort of the game or wildlife and be designed to protect the public, confine the species designated on the permit and exclude any species of game or wildlife which might be present in the wild.

(d) Marking game or wild birds. - No person shall sell, barter, give away or otherwise transfer possession, or offer to sell or barter, any game bird, wild bird, game animal or wild animal raised or held under authority of a propagating permit unless that game bird, wild bird, game animal or wild animal is marked by any one of the following alternative methods:
