*Verify your mailing address. A Hunting & Trapping Digest will be included with your license/permit purchase at no additional cost. The Digest is also available for
printing and viewing online.
HuntFishPA provides the option for hunters and trappers to carry afield electronic versions of licenses they buy, as an alternative to carrying certain paper licenses. Harvest tags will continue to be issued in physical form on durable stock, and harvest tags need to be carried afield when hunting in big-game seasons or trapping in seasons where harvest tags are used. Hunters and trappers buying licenses online will continue to be mailed all durable stock license panels, including harvest tags, and will also be given access to e-Licenses. Those buying licenses from an issuing agent will be issued harvest tags at the time of purchase and will have the opportunity to have digital licenses provided through email. No signature is required on digital licenses. The license buyer attests to a statement, which serves in place of a signature.
All big game tags must be printed on green license stock.
Online License Purchases Not Received:
Due to an overwhelming response to our online hunting license sales and antlerless license availability, we are experiencing longer-than-usual delays in mailing orders. Fulfillment is working to complete the backlog as quickly as possible.
Digital licenses can be used to hunt small game without harvest tags. Digital licenses are available through PGC's app and through HuntFishPA customer portal.
