Petition summary and background

The Pennsylvania Game Commission has received 2 license increases in the last 23 years.  Without funding, they are unable to manage our wildlife resources. In 1985, the fee was increased to 12.50 and in 1999, it was increased to 20.00.

Action petitioned for

We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our Legislators to act now to increase the fee for a general hunting license. We request a minimum increase to $35.00 for a general license.  We support maintaining a strong and independent Game Commission. While we may not agree with all PGC decisions on wildlife management, we believe a license increase is needed to assure our wildlife is scientifically managed in the future.
