Hunting on my own property

I did a search and came up empty handed so either the answer is glaringly obvious or the question is ridiculous.
So here goes.

Can I take deer on my property for meat anytime I want and without license?
Thanks in advance

Nope, you may not kill the king's deer, even on your own land.

Um, no. Check the PA Game Commission site for further guidance.

Thanks, I should've known better.

Right on both counts.

On a side note, and assuming you have the suitable land, there are hunting preserves that do not require a license, not sure about seasons though.
You would need to fence the land with high fences and stock the game accordingly. I imagine that would cost a small fortune.

dunno about PA, but SOME states will sell you a permit to remove "problem animals" from your own land, any time of the year, and often, even at night.
