Pennsylvania Landowner Hunting
I was in a discussion with a fellow from PA and he told me as a farmer with 500 acres he can hunt deer without a hunting license. I looked at the PGC website and could find no exception for landowners or farmersto deer hunt without a license. Can anybody tell me what the scoop is on this. Here in NY everybody needs a license and take the hunter safety course, no exceptions for farmers.

RE: Pennsylvania Landowner Hunting
Thanks for the input guys. I'm a bit puzzled though. Why would the pgc issue landowner hunting licences if there is no need for the landowner to have a license? Oh well.

Qualified landowners, those with their land under continuous commercial cultivation, can hunt their own land without a hunting license during the legal seasons but they can not hunt on any other lands.
The availability of landowner hunting license allows the qualified landowners to get a license so they can also hunt off of their own lands. It is just a way of expressing some gratitude toward the landowners where game reside and feed.
