Pennsylvania Game Commission
Pennsylvania hunters: Are you tired of the pink envelopes? [Contact your state representative and senator and ask them to support Senate Bill 431: www.legis.state.pa.us].
If Senate Bill 431 passes, Pennsylvania’s Wildlife Code could be amended, and Pennsylvania deer hunters could simply purchase their antlerless deer licenses over- the-counter or online at www.huntfish.pa.gov.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission supports the bill, [read more: https://bit.ly/3QhCJbh]. Without the Legislature taking action, no change to the process can be made.
Pennsylvania's 2022 Antlerless Deer License Application Schedule is as follows: AUG. 15, UNSOLD, 2nd ROUND. SEPT. 12, OVER-THE-COUNTER SALES FOR WMUS WHERE LICENSES REMAIN. Visit www.pgc.pa.gov for more details. Thank YOU for being a Pennsylvania hunter.

Wow, sounds like a big win in terms of convenience, though not being a PA hunter I don't know the history at all.

I don't send for doe licenses but all I know is this was the first year I bought all my hunting licenses online from the PGC. And I liked it. :)

I get as many doe tags as I can and throw them away to do my part to save future deer hunting...I have zero problems with the current pink envelope system !!!!!! I actually look forward to see the pink envelope in the mail !!!!!

Good luck with this all the county treasurers get a portion of the doe tag fee. Not sure how much. Anytime you take money away from government it's like pulling teeth

How will that work with the quotas? Anyway, the pink envelop appears to be more than USPS can handle. I received this in my mailbox today. I did get an email receipt for the license, so I guess I'm good even though this is part of the return envelope too.

The email the PGC sends successful applicants actually contains a file to open and print your antlerless license. I believe that's also new this year. They also physically send the pink envelope with permit back to you.

I imagine there will be a whole bunch of people hitting "send" at the same time.
I hope nobody hacks in and destroys a lot of doe tags, I mean, what could go wrong with computers counting vot.....s.. uuhhmmmm doe tag quotas.
IT WAS A JOKE!

It’s easy er over the internet + those pink envelopes cost money to make, those dollars would be saved for the state an Game Commission, Convenient Yes, but it’s still about making Money.

It takes less than 3 minutes to fill one out and write the check. It is overplayed drama and until a proposal is presented of how an online system is going to work, this is fair and works. Watch out what you ask for as it may be worse than you think. The same ones crying about envelopes every year will just pick up the bell about how the online system doesn't work the way they want it to. 47 years of filling them out and not one problem....EVER.

Who's brother is in the envelope business? What a joke. That process is a waste of time, resources, gas, ink, stamps, US mail service, checks, banking and paper. Jeez-uz it has to end! No one in the non govt. business world can participate in that application process without shaking their head. I can drive 1900 miles to wyoming and walk in the hardware store or actually the Conoco and buy a instant doe license.
...Oh I got my PA doe permit today in the mailbox in it's 1/2 pink envelope. Reminder to do the pink envelopes again this weekend for your next doe permit!

Son-of-a-*****!
See what I mean.
You are correct. Later you can go to the courthouse and buy over the counter without the pink envelope.
"Over-the-Counter Sales in WMUs where licenses remain.
Over-the-counter sales are sold through county treasurer offices. Licenses may be obtained in person or by mai"l

Seems like the root of the problem is a game department being controlled by a Legislature.
