PENNSYLVANIA
Deer license changes
Beginning Monday, Pennsylvania hunters will have an unprecedented opportunity to apply for antlerless deer licenses that will permit them to hunt more territory than ever. This marks the first time the Pennsylvania Game Commission will issue antlerless licenses using a system that isn't based on the state's 67 counties since it began selling them 80 years ago.
In addition, hunters, for the first time since 1952, will not send their antlerless license applications directly to county treasurers. Rather, they will mail them to the Game Commission via 22 different Post Office boxes. The agency, in turn, will forward them to county treasurers for processing.
Some of the changes in the application process include: hunters are applying to hunt in Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) now, not a specific county; applications are mailed to the Game Commission, not county treasurers; pre-printed mailing labels are provided to affix to the application envelope; and the application envelope is now yellow, not pink.
The Game Commission has developed an & quot;Antlerless License Update & quot; page on its Web site (www.pgc.state.pa.us) to provide hunters additional information about the changes in the antlerless license application process and updates on available antlerless licenses once sales begin. Information on the Web site will be updated weekly beginning Aug. 7; sell-outs for wildlife management units will be posted immediately. Look under & quot;Hot Topics & quot; on the agency's homepage.
Taxidermy exam set
The Pennsylvania Game Commission will conduct a taxidermy examination for permit applicants on Sept. 8, 9 and 10, at the agency's Southcentral Region Office in Huntingdon, Huntingdon County. All persons performing taxidermy work for others must have a permit issued by the Game Commission.
Completed applications and appropriate fees must be submitted to a district Wildlife Conservation Officer for approval by Aug. 4. After an application is received by the Game Commission, individuals will be sent a letter scheduling the date and time to report for the exam. Applications are available at the agency's Harrisburg and regional offices.
