58 Pa. Code § 147.764 - Subpermittees
A depredation permit issued under this subchapter authorizes a limited number of subpermittees, selected by the permittee, to act on behalf of the permittee by destroying game or wildlife causing agricultural damage on lands owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the permittee.
(1)
Qualifications. A
subpermittee shall be a resident of this Commonwealth, possess a valid resident
hunting license or qualify for license and fee exemptions under section 2706 of
the act (relating to resident license and fee exemptions) and have no prior
record of violations of the act or related license revocations within the
previous 10 years.
(2)
Eligibility. A subpermittee may destroy game or wildlife upon
lands owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the permittee only when the game
or wildlife is either actually engaged in the material destruction of
cultivated crops, fruit trees, vegetables, livestock, poultry or beehives,
immediately following the destruction or when there is just cause for
reasonable apprehension of additional imminent destruction.
(3)
Lawful devices and
methods. A subpermittee shall comply with the arms, ammunition and
method restrictions located in section 2126 of the act (relating to unlawful
activities) and §
141.19 (relating to killing game
or wildlife to protect property). A permittee may further restrict or limit the
usage of specific arms, ammunition or methods of destruction as deemed
appropriate.
(4)
Reporting. A subpermittee shall report all wildlife destroyed
within 24 hours to the Commission in the manner required by section 2122 of the
act (relating to report to commission officer).
(5)
Surrender of carcass.
The allowances of section 2124 of the act (relating to retention of edible
carcass for food) do not extend to subpermittees. A subpermittee shall
surrender the entire carcass, including the head and hide, of all game or
wildlife destroyed under this subchapter to the Commission in the manner
provided by sections 2123 and 2125 of the act (relating to safekeeping edible
carcass pending disposition; and surrender of carcass to commission officer). A
subpermittee who surrenders the entire carcass of any game or wildlife
destroyed under this subchapter to a food bank or a butcher operating on behalf
of a food bank, at the express direction of the district wildlife conservation
officer, shall be deemed to have met the surrender requirement.
