Hunting Licenses and DMAP Permits

For deer hunting license and Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) permit sale dates and information please go to Antlerless Deer Licenses.

How it Works:

Please see the PA Hunting and Trapping Digest for more information.

• Hunters on DMAP properties may hunt antlerless deer in any deer season, using the sporting arm and/or implement allowed during that season.
• The hunter must be properly licensed for the season; for example, archery or muzzleloading licenses are required during those seasons.

Where to Purchase Licenses:

• HuntFishPA - Home
• In-state and out-of-state issuing agents

Hunters can purchase up to two DMAP permits per DMAP unit.

A coupon is not needed to purchase a permit for DMAP units on the ANF or KQDC.
