Resolutions & Surveys
Resolutions and surveys play an important role in ensuring that the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen and Conservationists represents the voices of its members and affiliated clubs.
Through the resolutions process, local clubs and individual members can bring forward ideas, concerns, and proposals related to wildlife management, conservation, and outdoor recreation.
Surveys provide another valuable way to gather input and better understand the priorities of sportsmen and conservationists across the Commonwealth. Together, these tools help guide our advocacy, shape policy positions, and ensure we speak with a unified, member-driven voice on issues that affect Pennsylvania’s outdoor heritage.
Voting on Resolutions & Surveys are for PFSC members and affiliated clubs in good standing. Voting from non-members will not be counted. Membership status will be verified.
Resolution processes and policies shall be set and approved by the PFSC Board of Directors.

2024 Spring Survey
Using Drones to Recover Downed Deer
Should hunters be allowed to use drones to track downed deer?
The Survey Results: Members did NOT support the use of drones.
A state senator plans to introduce legislation that would allow the use of drones to help hunters track downed deer. In a cosponsor memo, Sen. Jarrett Coleman, R-Lehigh, said the proposal was inspired by a recent case in which the Pennsylvania Game Commission cited the owner of a business who used a drone to help a hunter track down a deer that had been shot.
While using a drone to locate dead or wounded deer is legal in Ohio, other states, including Pennsylvania, prohibit the practice.
According to Travis Lau, communications director for the Game Commission, the agency considers drones electronic devices prohibited for hunting. The combined charges carry a maximum of $2,500 in fines and up to three months in jail.
‘These charges stem from the use of a drone to attempt to recover a downed deer," Coleman said in the cosponsor memo. "Pennsylvanians deserve better. With the advent of drones, hunters have an additional tool to use and reduce the amount of dead game that goes uncollected.”
