Recognizing Jean Tesauro, the PAGame Commission’s First Female Deputy Game Protector.

 As Women’s History Month concludes, join us in recognizing Jean Tesauro, the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s first female Deputy Game Protector. 

 At age 16, Jean harvested her first deer, but she couldn’t tag it because another hunter intentionally shot and took it. After that day in the woods, Jean wanted to become a Deputy Game Protector to help enforce game laws and to protect wildlife. 

In 1976, Jean became a deputy and served in Cameron County with Game Protector Norm Erickson. “My biggest accomplishment was working to help enforce game laws, making sure everyone followed the rules and were safe,” Jean recounts. “I met many wonderful hunters. Once, I assisted with a hunter being shot in mistake for game and that image has never left me.” 

 Please join us in thanking Jean for her service to Pennsylvania residents and wildlife.
