PA 2021-22 Hunting Licenses To Go On Sale

HARRISBURG, PA — With the prospect of Sunday hunting opportunities occurring again this year, the 2021-22 Pennsylvania hunting season begins July 1. Hunting and furtaking licenses for the year go on sale Monday.

General hunting and furtaker licenses each cost $20.97 for state residents and $101.97 for nonresidents. Resident senior hunters and furtakers 65 or older can purchase one-year licenses for $13.97 or lifetime licenses for $51.97. For $101.97, resident seniors can buy lifetime combination licenses that provide hunting and furtaking privileges.

Once again this year, additional hunting will be offered on three Sundays: Nov. 14, 21 and 28. But unlike last year, when those Sundays were open only for deer or bear hunting, this year they’re open for other species that also are in season - except for turkeys and migratory game birds. The "2021-22 Pennsylvania Hunting & Trapping Digest"guide is issued to all license purchasers.

Hunting licenses can be purchased online at the game commission's newly launched customer-friendly licensing platform. License purchasers need to create an account or log into one they previously created to purchase all the licenses they need. A map to locate the nearest license issuing agent can be found here.
