HARRISBURG — Beginning Monday, the Pennsylvania Game Commission will accept resident and nonresident hunters' applications for the first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses.

During the first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses, it's against the law to apply for and receive more than one in any of the Wildlife Management Units, except for WMUs 2B, 5C or 5D.

In those three WMUs during the first round, hunters can 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 can apply for in the 19 other WMUs.

However, they can 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. Applications also can be found on the agency's website at www.pgc.state.pa.us.

Beginning Sept. 10, the Game Commission will accept, only through first-class mail, applications for the second round of unsold antlerless licenses. Hunters who applied for a license during the first round can apply for and receive only one antlerless deer license during the second round.

Those hunters who did not apply for an unsold license during the first round can make separate applications for and receive up to two unsold licenses during the second round. The separate applications may be submitted to one or two WMUs.

Regular antlerless deer licenses and first-round unsold licenses will be mailed by county treasurers to successful applicants no later than Sept. 17. Second-round unsold licenses will be mailed no later than Oct. 1.

Also, beginning Sept. 17, applicants can apply in person at county treasurers' offices in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D. Beginning Nov. 5, hunters can apply in person for unsold antlerless licenses in all other WMUs.
