PA HUNTING LICENSES

SPECIAL DEER

 
 
 

In the early days, antlerless (doe) licenses were known as special deer licenses. Some information exists that female deer licenses were first issued in 1923 and 1924. I have also heard of a 1925. However, the earliest license I have seen and in this collection is a 1926 special deer. The next special deer license was issued in 1928. Also in 1928, a free special deer license was issued to landowners that applied for one. It is of a different color than the regular 1928. In 1930, three different special deer licenses were issued. A black and white 1930 was the standard issue. A red and white was issued to landowners. Supposedly, a blue and white was issued to non-residents. BEWARE OF REPAINTS IN RED/WHITE AND BLUE/WHITE.

It would be seven years until a special deer season would be scheduled again. In 1937, a season was set but after much controversy was canceled. Licenses do exist in circulation. In 1943, a special deer season was held in several counties. This license was cardboard -- unlike the previous metal licenses. In 1946, the final special deer license was sold. This license was also cardboard. The license in this collection has a metal ear tag marked PA SPECIAL DEER. I have never seen another metal tag.
