Quote:
11. If permittee hunted snakes but did not kill or possess a timber rattlesnake or copperhead, permittee shall send a report on a form prescribed by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to the following address postmarked by AUGUST 10 of the permit year:
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Division of Environmental Services
Natural Diversity Section
Centre Region Office
595 E. Rolling Ridge Drive
Bellefonte, PA 16823
Even if permittee did not hunt, capture or retain any snakes during the permit year, permittee must file a report.
FAILURE TO SUBMIT THE REQUIRED VENOMOUS SNAKE PERMIT REPORT WILL RESULT IN A CITATION BEING ISSUED FOR VIOLATION OF THE FISH AND BOAT REGULATIONS
So even if you just get a license and don't hunt, or you don't see anything you need to send them a report.
