HARRISBURG -- A new state law, Act 148 of 2022, allows the Pennsylvania Game Commission to modernize and simplify how antlerless deer licenses are sold.
The new antlerless license purchasing process allows hunters to purchase 2023-24 antlerless licenses online at HuntFishPA, or at any in-store hunting license issuing agent.
New Antlerless Deer License changes announced at the Game Commission's Board of Commissioners meeting, held April 14-15, 2023.
Please ensure your contact information is correct in your online profile, at HuntFishPA. The agency will be mailing all hunting license buyers a postcard with information related to the new process.
Resident Antlerless Deer Licenses cost $6.97 and Nonresident Antlerless Deer Licenses cost $26.97.
