The Great License Breakdown
Let's face it, hunting licenses can be a jungle (pun intended). But fret not, we're here with a machete to clear a path. The price of your Pennsylvania Hunting License depends on two key factors: age and residency.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
Resident Rockstars:
- Adult Achievers (17-64): This bad boy will set you back a cool $20.97. For that price, you get a general hunting license, an antlered deer tag, a fall turkey tag, a spring turkey tag, and bragging rights to all your non-hunting buddies.
- Junior Jewels (12-16): Calling all future William Tells! A junior license is a steal at just $6.97.
- Seasoned Silver Snipers (65+): Hunters with wisdom and (presumably) a lifetime supply of comfy hunting socks can snag a senior license for a sweet $13.97. There's even a lifetime option for the truly dedicated.
Non-Resident Renegades:
- Out-of-State Outlaws (17+): If you're coming from parts unknown (or a neighboring state), you'll need a non-resident license for $101.97. It comes with all the bells and whistles of the resident adult license.
- Junior Jayhawks (12-16): Same age range, different license! Non-resident juniors can snag one for a slightly less intimidating $41.97.

QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
There are a few other license options to consider, depending on your specific hunting goals. But that's a story for another campfire.
Remember: These are just the base prices. There might be a small issuing fee tacked on, so be prepared to cough up a few extra pennies.
