it changes each year in PA as to how many deer you can take. your buck tag comes automatic with the liscense. you have to apply for an antlerless tag. they didn't offer bonus tags this year (i don't think so anyways) but when there is a bonus offered you can take one buck and two doe. there is also a deer management program for the allegheny national forest in which it has it's own antlerless tag. so this year with proper tags you can take one doe, one buck, and one doe in the allegheny national forest. so that's a potential for three deer. some years they offer green tag areas where an individual can pretty much get a endless amount of tags. with that being said the most deer i have ever shot in one year is three. the only time it ever went to waste is when the power went out on my freezer and i didnt know it. one year my wife got 2, i got 3, my dad got 2, my brother got 3 and we gave 3 of them away to three seperate needy families in our town.
