UNSOLD ANTLERLESS DEER APPLICATIONS TO BE ACCEPTED AUG. 27
Four WMUs exhaust antlerless license allocation
HARRISBURG - Beginning Monday, Aug. 27, the Pennsylvania Game Commission will accept resident and nonresident hunters' applications for the first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses. Applications for regular antlerless deer licenses were accepted from resident hunters on Aug. 6, and nonresidents on Aug. 20.
During the first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses, hunters may apply for and receive only one antlerless deer license in any one of the WMUs, except for WMUs 2B, 5C or 5D. Applying for and receiving more than one "unsold" antlerless license prior to Sept. 10 - except in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D - is against the law.
In WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, during the first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses, hunters may apply for multiple antlerless deer licenses provided they submit no more than three applications per envelope, in addition to the one unsold antlerless deer license they may apply for in the 19 other WMUs. However, they may mail as many envelopes as they desire for unsold antlerless licenses in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D.
When applying for unsold antlerless deer licenses, hunters can use the forms found on pages 54 or 62 of the 2007-08 Pennsylvania Hunting and Trapping Digest, which is presented to each license buyer. Unsold antlerless deer license applications also can be found on the agency's website (
www.pgc.state.pa.us) in the "Forms & Programs" section in the left-hand column on the homepage, and then under the "Forms" heading.
The Game Commission has developed a "Doe License Update" page on its website (
www.pgc.state.pa.us) to provide hunters additional information on the antlerless license application process, including regular updates about the number of antlerless licenses available by Wildlife Management Unit (WMU). Look for it in the "Quick Clicks" box in the upper right-hand corner of the agency's homepage.
