Antlerless Deer Licenses are required to hunt deer during the antlerless, archery and muzzleloader seasons. An antlerless deer license application and envelope are issued with each regular hunting license. Antlerless license applications cannot be accepted by the Pennsylvania Game Commission from state residents prior to August 2nd; from nonresidents prior to August 16th. An Antlerless Deer License is valid only in the Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) of issuance. The use or attempted use of an antlerless license in another WMU is a violation of the law.
WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT UNITS
Wildlife Management Units (WMU) are in place as of 2003. These units are designed to improve wildlife management and, at the same time, simplify hunting and trapping regulations. The new units are being used to manage all game, except elk, waterfowl, and other migratory game birds.
The units are based on land use/habitat; human density; public/private land ownership; recognizable physical features, such as major roads and rivers; and land use practices, such as agriculture, timber, and development.
