PA GAME COMMISSION DOE TAGS LICENSE
Suggestion 2: Begin antlerless license sales for only WMU 2G three days before they go on sale for other management units. Hunters not buying a doe license for one of the popular WMUs could still choose to wait and purchase both together. I realize that this circumvents the one-stop-shop idea, but at least it would spread business out for the retailers and put less strain on the computer system. Suggestion 1: Make hunting licenses available two weeks before antlerless licenses go on sale. My suggestions are common sense and not technical in nature. I offer four suggestions for improvement. I think that the new system will be an improvement once all of the bugs are worked out. I also know that if something is not changed for the better, the Game Commission will lose issuing agents.
I do know that the current system was not up to the task on June 26. I know absolutely nothing about the complexity of the computerized system of selling licenses or the capacity that is needed to process thousands of licenses in a short time. My friend works from home, so he patiently waited his turn and, at 5:45 p.m., he got his licenses. I get a little frustrated when I call my doctor and I am number 11 in the queue - I cannot imagine having tens of thousands of people waiting ahead of me. His brother signed on at noon and was number 125,994 in the queue. He was informed that he was number 41,711 in the queue. Was the process easier online? A friend from Mifflintown signed into the license-buying portal at 8:05 a.m. At the North Atherton Walmart, it was reported that a line of customers snaked from sporting goods halfway through the store. If the wildlife management unit for which you applied was sold out, your check and application would be returned and you could choose to apply again.Ī similar scene played out at Miller’s Gun Shop in Mill Hall, at Ace Hardware in Tyrone and most issuing agents. The application eventually made its way to a treasurer’s office, where they used a license printing machine to print your license and mail it back to you. Kline was referring to an end to the old “pink envelope” system of buying your hunting license (at one of 650 issuing agents or online), and then filling out the application and mailing it in your pink envelope, along with a check made payable to “County Treasurer” and a stamped pink return envelope.
I think that the system will be a disaster.” “You could come and interview hunters and take photos of the long lines. “You might want to write about the new license system that the Game Commission is starting on June 26,” Kline said. The second round of doe license sales for all hunters begins Monday after the Pennsylvania Game Commission launched a new system last month that had many issues.īack in early June, I received a call from my friend Dwight Kline, manager of Valley Ace Hardware in Milesburg.
