Don't forget that 1st round for resident doe tags get accepted on Monday July 13. Non residents will be on July 20th.

Thanks Hornady. i'm going to get mine tomorrow. I'm going to Walmart. There and Dick's are the only two places nearby that still sell them. Three of the placers I used to get them, local hardware stores, stopped selling them over the years, the last one stopped last year.

I know you can get them online but i think it would be great if the PGC incentivized local mom and pop stores to sell them again. Everyone of the store owners I talked to said the said thing: "Too much of a hassle and no money in it."

Sorry to hear that Lug. I haven't been in Walmart since January. Luckily I can still get my tags at 2 local hardware stores.

Good luck

Thanks Bruce.



The old general store at Boyer's Junction is here I got mine for many, many years. The owner was a WW II combat marine and a great guy. He had mounts all over the store. It was an annual tradition to go there and get your license the same day every year. There were always 15-20 of us hanging out waiting to get licenses. That was back before PALS when one of the stock boys had to write all our information down on forms copied with carbon paper while we all stood around and jawed with each other and the owner.

I miss those days.

No worry Bruce..not a lottery here .. we have so many tags for doe you will get one for the area you want in the 1st round....2nd round good chance...3rd round still a decent amount of tags left..in good areas...we have a lot of deer...this may be dropping a bomb on here[not my intention]..the guys that put their time in and do their homework have a very high success rate

Depends where you apply.

If you don't apply early you won't get tags in the northern countries. Second round there is no chance in my preferred Unit 2G.

Looks like some are already being sold who is getting those?

Land owners in the PGC's CoOp program can get one early if they go to their CT.

i think disabled vets get tags early. A camp member who passed away last year always had his prior to the drawing. He was a disabled Vietnam vet.

10-4, Non residents can apply a week earlier than usual. Used to be 2 weeks between residents and non. Hope ya'll get one

Just back from Walmart. There was a pretty long line of wait-until-the-last-minute folks like me.

I told the women everything but otter. She asks, "So if it walks or flies you shoot it?" I didn't reply.

She gets down to the bobcat tag and is reading out loud, "Must have a senior Combo license or..."

I finished her sentence for her, "...a Furtakers Licence."

"Oh yeah, I must have missed that," she says.

Did I mention I miss the old days at Boyer's Junction General Store? LOL

I’ll be getting mine in the mail for the 20th.

my app went out today!

dang we get 2 buck tags and 3 doe tags then i can go buy all the doe tags i want

That is about what Delaware is, I get 4 antlerless tags, I buy 2 antlered tags then I can buy unlimited antlerless tags for $20 each (which I think is dumb, it was $10).

Maryland región B is still my favorite that I hunt.
2 antlered deer, no more than 1 during each season, but you can buy a third tag to use to take a second antlered deer in one season or to use in the third. Kind of confusing but I guess that is the rule.

15 archery antlerless whitetail, 10 muzzleloader antlerless and 10 firearm rifle/shotgun antlerless. Any antlerless deer on NWR’s are extra and don’t go toward your limit.

Then there is sika deer. 3 archery, 3 firearm and 3 muzzleloader no more than one each season can be antlered.

You guys ain't got a million hunters either. If we did that in PA we'd wipe the deer herd out.

Yeah a slight difference.
Virginia didn’t report how many hunters for some reason.
Pennsylvania on a roll

Delaware only sells about 18,000 licenses and we killed a touch over 16,000 this year so we got no dog in that fight.

It’s always been that way in this state. There used to be even more hunters decades ago. An increase in predators, including raptors, and a decrease in cover has led to a major decline in small game populations. But even with a large amount of hunters we still have, hunting in this state is pretty good if you take advantage of all the different game and seasons.

I spent $154.00 on my licenses today. For that I get to kill one buck deer, three turkeys, one black bear, hunt pheasant, rabbit, squirrel, woodcock and grouse. I can trap an unlimited amount of coyote, fox possums, skunks, coon. I can trap one fisher, hunt or trap one bobcat and trap a bunch of beaver depending on the WMU. I can hunt deer with a bow and arrow, a rifle or a muzzleloader.

Doe tags will cost me $6.90 each and I always get three or four. I usually get three deer a year.

I almost forgot, I can also enter for a chance to hunt a Pennsylvania elk.

All in all, I think it’s worth the money. In fact, I think it would be cheap at twice the price.
