PAGC Urges Caution in Search Areas

PGC URGES CAUTION WHEN GOING AFIELD WHILE MANHUNT CONTINUES
DALLAS – Due to the ongoing manhunt for fugitive Eric Frein, the Northeast Region Office of the Pennsylvania Game Commission advises hunters to anticipate police presence in parts of Monroe and Pike counties, and to plan accordingly.
The Pennsylvania statewide archery deer season starts Saturday, Oct. 4, and many hunters take to the woods prior to the opening day in order to scout for deer and place tree stands.
Pennsylvania State Police officials identified areas of potential continuing police activity to include Price, Barrett, and Paradise townships in Monroe County; and Blooming Grove, Porter, and Lehman townships in Pike County.
“Hunters should use common sense and good judgment until this situation is resolved,” said the Game Commission’s Northeast Region Director Daniel Figured. “Our advice is to avoid wooded areas with obvious police activity and use extreme caution when afield, especially in Monroe and Pike counties.”
While neither the State Police nor the Game Commission is presently restricting hunting activity in the townships identified, hunters should anticipate encountering law-enforcement personnel conducting search operations in those areas.
“It is imperative that hunters do not interfere with the search operation,” said Figured.
If a person chooses to hunt in these townships, the Game Commission strongly recommends wearing fluorescent orange material on their head, chest, and back, whether moving or in a stationary position.
“To avoid potential misidentification, make it obvious that you are a hunter,” Figured said.
The Game Commission and State Police are urging anyone that witnesses suspicious activity or discovers possible evidence related to the fugitive Eric Frein to call the PSP TIP Line at 1-866-326-7256..Stay armed my friends.
