Hunting licenses available Monday

From staff reports

Licenses for the 2020-21 hunting and furtaking seasons go on sale Monday.

General hunting licenses and furtaker licenses cost $20.90 for Pennsylvania residents and $101.90 for nonresidents.

Resident senior hunters and furtakers, ages 65 and older, can purchase one-year licenses for $13.90, or lifetime licenses for $51.90. For $101.90, resident seniors can purchase lifetime combination licenses that afford them hunting and furtaking privileges.

A complete list of licensing requirements can be found at www.pgc.pa.gov.

Due to a recent change in state law, big-game hunting will be permitted on the following dates: Sunday, Nov. 15, for archery deer hunting; Sunday, Nov. 22, for bear hunting; and Sunday, Nov. 29, for deer hunting during regular firearms season.

A resident Pennsylvanian who buys his or her 2020-21 hunting license is eligible to apply for an antlerless deer license on July 13. Nonresidents can apply July 20.

And a second round in which a hunter can receive a second antlerless deer license begins Aug. 3 for Wildlife Management Units where licenses remain.

And if licenses still remain, a final round begins Aug. 17.

Hunting licenses can be purchased at www.pgc.pa.gov.
