THE DOC IS COMING IN OCTOBER !!!!

Just found out I will be able to harvest my does (2F tag and DMAP) in the October 22-24 season for seniors....

I was confused on just which year was being referred to as year applied for license ... regular licenss verus senior license.. etc...  I'll be 65 in March..

but just confirmed the facts after E-mails and phone calls to various folks at the PGC in Harrisburg...


I'M SO EXCITED !!!!!

Doc,

It was my understanding that if you had your 65th birthday in the current license year that you were qualified to buy a regular Senior license or a Senior Lifetime License and therefore would fall under the regulations for Sr. Hunters.

Good Luck with your doe hunting in October. The bad part about getting a deer in October is that, in most cases, you have to take care of it within a very short time.

In my preseason scouting I've seen almost nothing in northern Jefferson County. No good bucks at all.

My bucks sightings are also not that great, but the places I check are pretty much the same year after year and not known for having many bucks..

I forgot about becoming 65 in the current license year (2009-2010)..

I was thinkng calendar year.. but luckily I still can hunt becuase it is okay if you will  be 65 and have a regular adult license...

DEER, ANTLERLESS, Regular Firearms (Statewide): Oct. 22-24 for Junior and Senior license holders (Also, persons who have reached or will reach their 65th birthday in year of license application and either hold a valid adult license, or qualify for license and fee exemptions under section 2706), disabled persons with permit to use a vehicle as a blind, and Pennsylvania residents serving on active duty in U.S. Armed Services only, with required antlerless license.

I will be honest though it took 5 guys, a lady and E-mails and calls to the PGC in Harrisburg by phone to get it all verifed this morning !!!
