Hunting Fees In Pennsylvania Could Be Doubled, Reports Say

Hunting fees in Pennsylvania could be doubled, according to multiple reports.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission is looking for permission to increase the fee to purchase hunting licenses by $20 over the next 5 years, according to radio station WGAL.

The fee, which is currently $19, would increase by $10 in the first year, and then $5 in years three and five, according to the report.

The price of a non-resident license would double to $200, according to the Morning Call.

Fees reportedly account for nearly 40 percent of the Game Commission’s budget.
