Wildlife management

I noticed two big red envelopes on the dashboard of my friend Joel's Jeep -- actually, they looked like parking tickets -- and asked about them. Turns out that this year Monday, Aug. 1, was a key date for sportsmen, and Joel had his antlerless license applications all stamped and ready to mail to the Chester County treasurer.
This whole business of securing hunting permits is far more complicated than I thought.
Let the state Game Commission explain: "Starting Monday, August 1, applications for unsold antlerless tags will be accepted by mail by County Treasurers for wildlife management units with licenses still on hand. An individual may apply for only one unsold tag on August 1, and if available, a second unsold tag by mail on Monday, August 15, for a total of not more than two unsold tags anywhere in the state."
As Joel says dryly, "The PA Game Commission is finally getting up to date compared to other states, but they still are not crystal clear and simple in their explanations."
