The largest WMU in Pa. with the lowest of deer population and the least doe tags 19k, sales out...WOW!!!! I guess the out of state hunters will be looking for another WMUdoe tags then..
Yeah I completely forgot to even get my license before this deadline, so I'm out, but it's ok, my immediate area has really been hammered in the last few years in regards to the doe harvest, so I probably wouldn't have applied anyways. It will be interesting to see what this lower allocation results in.
Following is a listing of the antlerless deer license allocation by Wildlife Management Unit, with last year's allocation in parenthesis: WMU 1A, 40,000 (48,000); WMU 1B, 27,000 (33,000); WMU 2A, 55,000 (55,000); WMU 2B, 68,000 (68,000); WMU 2C, 53,000 (75,000); WMU 2D, 56,000 (58,000); WMU 2E, 21,000 (23,000); WMU 2F, 30,000 (44,000); WMU 2G, 29,000 (52,000); WMU 3A, 27,000 (32,000); WMU 3B, 41,000 (48,000); WMU 3C, 32,000 (37,000); WMU 3D, 38,000 (50,000); WMU 4A, 35,000 (43,000); WMU 4B, 35,000 (49,000); WMU 4C, 39,000 (44,000); WMU 4D, 40,000 (55,000); WMU 4E, 38,000 (38,000); WMU 5A, 28,000 (32,000); WMU 5B, 56,000 (64,000); WMU 5C, 71,000 (71,000); and WMU 5D, 20,000 (20,000).
I got this from the same site and the numbers don't match what they had wrote on the above...Or am I missing something here???? The above looks like they are trying to decieve us that they lowered the sales of tags..But from what they wrote below only a few have actually been lowered... Above says that 180k less tags sold this year compared to their writting below that says only 34k less tags sold this year....

Smokeman: I'm not sure where you found that list, but you are correct, the numbers are different. Could it be you accidentally pulled up a different year? I found this list below that says 2006 and it shows the correct numbers. I don't know, maybe there was some mistyping going on.

Yes,I was looking at last years compared to the year before with the ones in parenthesis... Somehow it came to the top of the list instead of 2006 and 2007 hunting year... But the writting below that is correct and only 34k less sold this year than last... Sorry about the error...
