Digest of Hunting and Trapping Regulation - Pennsylvania Envirothon

Application Schedule: County Treasurers will accept antlerless deer license applications from state residents beginning July 11,
2011. Nonresident applications will be accepted beginning Monday, July 25, 2011. Applications received early will be returned to
sender. The antlerless deer application panel issued with a hunting license or the application form that appears in this Digest may be
used to apply for an antlerless deer license. Either type of form is valid regardless of when a hunter applies. PALS automatically
tracks allocations and monitors personal license limits so that hunters are not issued more licenses than they are entitled to at any
given point in the process. With the exception of WMUs 2B, 5C & 5D, a person may apply for and receive no more than three
antlerless licenses.
On Monday, Aug. 1, 2011, the first round of unsold antlerless applications from residents and nonresidents will be accepted by
County Treasurers for WMUs with licenses remaining. At this time an individual may submit only one unsold application. Applying
for more than one “unsold” antlerless license prior to the date for the second round unsold — except in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D — is
against the law and carries a $100 fine. On Monday, Aug. 15, 2011, the second round of unsold applications will be accepted by
County Treasurers for WMUs with remaining licenses. Once again, an individual may apply for only one unsold license. Overall, an
individual may apply for and receive no more than a total of two unsold licenses statewide. In WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, there is no limit
to the number of unsold antlerless license applications an individual can make or receive (No more than 3 individual applications
per official envelope). This can be done by mail starting Monday, Aug. 1, until allocations in those three WMUs are exhausted.
Over-the-counter sales in these three units only begin Monday, Aug. 22, 2011.
Landowner Antlerless Deer Licenses: Applicants (residents and nonresidents) for landowner antlerless deer licenses must apply
directly to the County Treasurer of the county where the qualifying acreage is located. These licenses must be applied for prior to

within a county with two or more wildlife management units, the applicant selects the management unit he or she desires. If the
applicant or his/her agent cannot apply in person, the applicant should mail their antlerless deer license application, proper remittance

directly to a Treasurer in a plain envelope marked “Disabled Veteran Antlerless Application.” Applicants who apply by mail must
