HARRISBURG – Sen. Greg Rothman of Cumberland, Dauphin, & Perry Counties has introduced legislation to bring people back to the Commonwealth for hunting and outdoor recreation, while benefiting sportsmen, families, and local economies. Currently, a resident adult pays $20.97 for a hunting license and a non-resident adult pays $101.97, which includes one antlered deer tag, one fall turkey tag, one spring turkey tag, and small game privileges for one license year. With hunting license sales on a steady decline, Rothman says offering resident rates to native Pennsylvanians living elsewhere will encourage them to come back home to hunt. Not only will this allow them to join family and friends in time-honored traditions here, but will also benefit conservation and the PA economy. Senate Bill 1313 has been referred to the PA Senate Game and Fisheries Committee for consideration.
