25 resolution, declares an open season for antlerless deer, it
26 shall issue resident, nonresident and alien hunters' licenses
27 and tags for antlerless deer to hunt for or kill such deer, at a
28 fee of [two dollars thirty-five cents for the hunting license
29 year beginning September 1, 1973 and] three dollars thirty-five
30 cents [for the hunting license years beginning September 1, 1974
19810H1090B1213 - 9 -
1 and thereafter] under such rules and regulations governing the
2 issuance of such licenses and tags as it may deem necessary to
3 limit the number of persons who may hunt for such deer in any
4 county of the Commonwealth, provided public notice of such
5 action is given as hereinafter required: And provided, however,
6 That no applications, for antlerless deer licenses received from
7 nonresidents and aliens shall be approved or licenses issued in
8 advance of thirty days prior to the opening date of such
9 antlerless deer season. Such licenses and tags shall be issued
10 without restriction or regard to the county residence of the
11 Pennsylvania applicant and may be issued only to holders of
12 resident, nonresident, or alien hunting licenses, and such
13 licenses and tags shall not be transferable from one person to
14 another nor shall they be refunded or reissued to anyone.
15 Notwithstanding the provisions of any regulation limiting the
16 number of licenses and tags the commission shall issue resident
17 hunters' licenses and tags for antlerless deer without effecting
18 any quota established by the commission for a particular county:
19 (1) to members of Armed Forces who are residents of Pennsylvania
20 and who are on full time active duty[, or]; (2) to residents who
21 were honorably discharged from the Armed Forces within sixty
22 days of the date of the application upon substantial proof of
23 their military status; and (3) to disabled veterans as defined
24 in section 302 upon submission of the information required by
25 section 302.
26 Resident, nonresident, and alien hunters' licenses and tags
27 for antlerless deer shall be issued only by the county
28 treasurers in counties where such deer may be hunted and killed,
29 who, for that purpose, are hereby made agents of the commission.
30 For services rendered in collecting and paying over fees and
19810H1090B1213 - 10 -
1 issuing licenses and tags, by mail or otherwise, such agents may
2 retain the sum of thirty-five cents from the amount paid by each
3 licensee, which amount shall be paid into the county treasury,
4 except that such agents other than the county treasurer may
5 retain therefrom any amounts necessary to reimburse them for any
6 expenses, including compensation of employes, incurred in
7 collecting such fees and issuing such licenses and tags.
8 It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or attempt to
9 sell any antlerless deer hunting license for a monetary fee in
10 excess of the fees fixed pursuant to this subsection. The sale
11 or attempted sale of each license shall constitute a separate
12 offense.
13 When such licenses are issued to restrict the number of
14 persons who may hunt antlerless deer in any county of the
15 Commonwealth, any citizen of the United States residing within
16 the Commonwealth who is a bona fide owner or lessee of lands
17 which lie within the county declared open to the hunting of said
18 deer, or any member of the family or household, or regularly
19 hired help of such owner or lessee, if such person is a citizen
20 of the United States, actually residing upon and cultivating
21 such lands, is hereby declared eligible to hunt antlerless deer
22 without a resident hunters' license for antlerless deer upon
23 said property, and, by and with the consent of the owner
24 thereof, upon the lands immediately adjacent and connected with
25 his own lands, other than lands owned by or under the control of
26 the Commonwealth.
27 The terms "antlerless deer" and "deer without visible
28 antlers," as used in this subsection or any other provision of
29 the Game Law which this act amends, are hereby defined to mean a
30 deer without an antler sometimes called horn, or a deer without
19810H1090B1213 - 11 -
1 antlers both of which are less than three inches long, the term
2 "antler," as herein used or in any other provision of the Game
3 Law which this act amends, meaning the bony growth on the head
4 of a deer regardless of its size or development.
5 When the commission adopts and promulgates such rules and
6 regulations relative to resident and nonresident hunters'
7 licenses and tags for antlerless deer, it is unlawful for any
8 person other than a landowner or lessee of the county or a
9 member of his household, as hereinbefore enumerated, to hunt for
10 antlerless deer without a resident or nonresident hunters'
11 license and tag for antlerless deer, or to take such deer
12 contrary to the rules and regulations adopted by the commission.
13 The tag issued with an antlerless deer license shall be
14 displayed on the outer garment immediately below the regular
15 resident or nonresident hunting license tag. Any person who
16 fails to display the tag herein provided shall, upon conviction,
17 be sentenced to pay a fine of ten dollars ($10) and costs of
18 prosecution, provided it shall be determined the person has
19 purchased a license; otherwise, a penalty of twenty dollars
20 ($20) and costs of prosecution shall be imposed.

26 resolution of the commission and the provisions of subsection
27 (c) of this section shall not apply thereto. The duration and
28 time of such additional open season, together with the
29 description of the deer which may be lawfully killed, shall each

1 season, it shall be unlawful to hunt for, kill or attempt to
2 kill, any deer, without a license as hereinafter prescribed, or
3 with any weapon other than a bow and arrow.
4 No person shall hunt for or kill any deer during such
5 additional open archery season with bow and arrow without first
6 having secured a hunting license and, in addition thereto, an
7 archery license from the commission or any agent designated as
8 an issuing agent of the commission, the fee for which is hereby
9 fixed at two dollars. Such license shall be attached to the
10 hunters' license certificate for the current year and shall be
11 countersigned in ink diagonally across its face by the licensee
12 before hunting in the open season herein provided for.
13 The county treasurer of each county and each other person
14 designated the agent for the commission for the issuance of
15 archery licenses may retain for the use of the county if the
16 issuing agent is the county treasurer, otherwise to the agent
17 for such service the sum of twenty cents paid by the applicant
18 in addition to the license fee prescribed. The provisions of
19 this act with respect to the issuance of licenses, collections
20 of fees and records shall apply to the issuance of archery
21 licenses.
22 It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or attempt to
23 sell any archery hunting license for a monetary fee in excess of
24 the fee fixed pursuant to this subsection. The sale or attempted
25 sale of each such license shall constitute a separate offense.

17 firearm shall not be less than .44 calibre and shall not be
18 equipped with a telescope.
19 It shall be unlawful for any person to hunt for, take, kill
20 or wound, or attempt to take, or kill, or for any person to aid

22 during such Muzzleloading Firearms Deer Season without first
23 having legally obtained a resident, nonresident or alien
24 hunter's license as defined in sections 302 and 303 of this act
25 and, in addition thereto, a Muzzleloading Firearms Deer Season
26 license which may be obtained from the commission or any agent
27 designated by the commission to issue such licenses, the fee for

5 carry such license upon his person at all times while hunting
6 during such season.
7 Any agent designated by the commission to issue Muzzleloading
8 Firearms Deer Season licenses may retain the sum of twenty-five
9 cents ($.25) of the hereinbefore prescribed license fee for each
10 such license issued as payment for services rendered. The
11 several provisions of this act governing the issuance of hunting
12 licenses by issuing agents with respect to keeping records,
13 filing reports, and collecting and remitting license fees shall
14 apply in like manner, force and effect to agents designated by
