HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Game Commission reminds hunters the agency will begin accepting regular antlerless deer license applications from resident hunters beginning Aug. 4, and nonresidents on Aug. 18.

Antlerless deer license applications must be sent to the Game Commission by first class mail only to 22 different post office boxes and the agency, in turn, will forward them to county treasurers for processing.

Applications for unsold antlerless deer licenses can be found on pages 54 and 60 of the 2008-09 Pennsylvania Digest of Hunting and Trapping Regulations, which is presented to each license buyer, along with harvest report cards, an antlerless deer license application and envelopes.

For convenience, a copy of the 2008-09 digest has been posted on the agency's website at www.pgc.state.pa.us.

Antlerless deer licenses cost $6 for residents and $26 for nonresidents. Checks should be made payable to County Treasurer, not the Game Commission. Also, applicants should not designate a specific county.

With the implementation of Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) in 2003, hunters began applying for antlerless deer licenses based on WMUs, not specific counties. Preprinted mailing labels for each WMU are provided to affix to the yellow application envelope.

To further ensure proper delivery, hunters also should write the WMU they are applying for in the lower left-hand corner box on the envelope.

Over-the-counter applications will not be accepted by county treasurers until Nov. 3, except in Wildlife Management Units 2B, 5C and 5D, where county treasurers will begin accepting over-the-counter applications on Sept. 8.

County treasurers will mail regular and first round unsold antlerless licenses to successful applicants no later than Sept. 15. County treasurers will mail second and subsequent rounds of unsold antlerless licenses to successful applicants no later than Oct. 1.
