Re: License Types
You must mail it in. You should have a yellow envelope to do that. It can be received by the Game Commission on 8/25. You can also apply for a second unsold anterless license on 9/8. Only in 2B, 5C and 5D can you purchase one at the treasurer's office and then only after 9/8. Here is the link to the PGC's anterless update page. There are links there that will help you out.

Re: License Types
Hello everyone, Need some help here. I just moved here from Colorado and I love to hunt. This common wealth deal has my head spinning. I am on active duty assigned to tobyhanna army depot. I want to hunt elk and turkey. I don't know where to hunt get the proper license. I want to apply for my CCP but that is another discussion. If someone wants to lead me out one day give me a yell.

Re: License Types
Go to Walmart, Dicks, or Gander Mountain and buy an adult hunting license for $20.70. That will give you hunting privileges (and State Game Land shooting range privileges). You can hunt 1 antlered deer, a spring gobbler, a fall turkey and small game. It's valid from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. You can buy a second sping gobbler tag.
While you buy that, you can pay another $10.70 for a elk lottery tag, or preference point only. The PGC pulls around 50-60 bull & cow elk tags from about 19,000 hunters that enter the lottery.
