2013-14 Doe license

[ettorment1916]

Just a reminder to all the hunters out there:

-- The first round of doe license applications will begin to be accepted by County Treasurers this coming Monday (7/8/12).

I just got back from placing my application in the mailbox with a 2pm pickup. It should be at the Allegheny County Courthouse first thing Monday morning.

Best of luck to all my fellow hunters!

I'll drop mine in the mail tomorrow or Monday, I'm applying for 2E which doesn't sell out in the first round so no hurry.

My 1st application is always for 2C, out where I grew up. Licenses always sellout there and this year the total has been lowered to 43k, so I really wanted to make sure I got mine in asap. Normally I'll mail it Sunday or Monday also.

After the 1st round of applications, I then apply for my 2B license. 2B never sells out and you can buy as many as you can afford. No time frame management for WMU 2B.

Are those of you getting 2B licenses doing archery or shotgun slugs? Or perhaps avoiding Allegheny Co. altogether since some of 2B is outside of it? I've been thinking about doing slugs in 2B and getting the requisite permit in the second round, but I can't decide if I want to spent the $$ on the necessary sight upgrade on my shotgun.

I was awarded my doe license for the application placed in the mail on Saturday.

The turnaround this year in being awarded the license was very fast (). In prior years it would take a week or so to post online for me.

I normally would hunt archery (2B), regular season firearms (2C) then late season firearms (2B-Southern Butler County). But unfortunately the late season firearms season has been limited to ONLY Allegheny County starting this season....DAMN!

My solution to the above:
Buy and use a Savage 220 in Allegheny County.

Savage 220 = highly regarded bolt action 20 gauge that with the proper sabot will shoot very accurately out to 150-200 yards. Its basically a rifled-barrel slug gun that performs in many ways like a rifle and is completely legal in 2B.

I do 2B, but archery only. Mailed my pink envelope yesterday.. but I don't think 2B ever sells out, even after the second round.
