Episode 58: PA Residents Guaranteed an Antlerless License for Any WMU

 

You get an antlerless license! You get an antlerless license! Everybody gets an antlerless license!

 

Well, all residents for 21 days, anyway.

 

Executive Director Steve Smith and Deputy Executive Director Dave Gustafson join host Matt Morrett to discuss the biggest changes for the 2025-26 license year, including guaranteed antlerless licenses for residents, a shortened bear archery season, expanded DMAP opportunities, and a 10% cap on nonresident elk tags.

 

 

Episode Highlights

  • How seasons and bag limits are set
  • Whether guaranteed resident antlerless licenses will cause WMUs to oversell
  • Why the bear archery season was shortened to one week
  • The impact an extended DMAP season will have on overall harvest
  • Tips for hunting state game lands
  • Why hunters in some WMUs will have a higher personal limit for antlerless licenses
  • Changes coming to the elk application process
