ATTN: PA Deer Hunters!
 General Hunting Licenses Go On Sale June 24, 2024.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission has announced changes to the RESIDENT antlerless license sales schedule to reduce wait times for hunters purchasing licenses throughout the first round. A general hunting license must be purchased in order to purchase an antlerless license.
Monday, June 24: Resident antlerless license sales open for WMUs 1B, 2G, and 3A only on a first come, first served basis until sold out.
Thursday, June 27: Resident antlerless license sales open for all remaining WMUs. Resident antlerless licenses are GUARANTEED for these WMUs in the first round only until July 7.
Antlerless licenses in WMUs 1B, 2G, and 3A have historically sold out in the first round. To avoid overselling, antlerless licenses in these three WMUs are not guaranteed and are available on a first come, first served basis.
Antlerless licenses for all other WMUs will be guaranteed for residents in the first round through Sunday, July 7. Beginning July 8, remaining antlerless licenses will be available on a first come, first served basis until sold out.

Hunters will be able to buy 2024-25 antlerless licenses online at huntfish.pa.gov or at any in-store hunting license issuing agent.
Please ensure your contact information is correct in your online profile at huntfish.pa.gov. The agency will be mailing all hunting license buyers a post card with information related to these changes.
