Farry Reminds Hunters of Change in Date for Obtaining Antlerless Deer Licenses
Rep. Frank Farry (R-Bucks) is reminding hunters who wish to apply for antlerless deer licenses that the application process for licenses has changed dramatically since last year.
Starting Monday, July 13, county treasurers can begin accepting antlerless license applications from resident hunters, three weeks earlier than last year. Hunters may mail license applications directly to the county treasurer of their choice.
An antlerless license application will be printed with every general license purchased, and an application also will be available in the Hunting and Trapping Digest. You may apply for a license with either.
Any county treasurer can now issue an antlerless deer license for any Wildlife Management Unit (WMU), as long as the WMU’s allocation is not sold out. Hunters will also list their first, second and third WMU preferences for licenses. Treasurers will fill the highest preference listed by the hunter. This will eliminate reapplications if one’s first or second preference is sold out.
Hunters should also be aware that the Game Commission will begin selling licenses on June 15, through the Pennsylvania Automated Licensing System (PALS). Paper applications are no longer available for residents. Nonresidents who have always submitted a paper application are being strongly encouraged to use PALS.
