Migratory bird hunters in Pennsylvania are reminded to secure their Migratory Game Bird License (MGBL) and necessary stamps when purchasing their hunting licenses. Essential for hunting waterfowl, doves, and other birds, the MGBL is often overlooked until the season approaches, potentially leading to compliance issues.
