2010-11 Hunting/Furtaker Licenses To Go On Sale June 14
|
Beginning June 14, Pennsylvania hunting and furtaker licenses for the 2010-11 seasons will go on sale throughout the state, according to Carl G. Roe, agency executive director.
Licenses will be available through the Game Commission's Pennsylvania Automated License System (PALS), over-the-counter at all Game Commission region offices and the Harrisburg headquarters, as well as the more than 600 in-state and out-of-state issuing agents.
Licenses also are available through the PALS website.
For the 2010-11 license year, all fees are the same as they have been since 1999. However, there is a 70-cent transaction fee attached to the purchase of each license and permit, which is paid directly to Automated License Systems, the Nashville-based company that runs PALS.
"PALS enabled the Game Commission to modernize the licensing system and improve security," Roe said. "To ensure faster processing, personal information is now recorded through a Pennsylvania driver's license scan. This eliminates data entry; provides a more secure, reliable and accurate means to gather and store license holder records; and eliminates license buyer duplicity.
"For all these reasons – and more – the Game Commission has eliminated paper applications. Nonresidents who have always submitted a paper application will need to use PALS either on the agency's website or at an issuing agent. It's fast, easy and secure."
The complete announcement is available online.
