PA Resident Hunting License Question?
If you purchase a PA resident hunting license and then move to another state is there anything that has to be done?
|
That's a good question. Were you a resident when you bought it? If so, I think you're good. Just hunt out the season with it.
What would the alternative be? Throw it away and buy a very expensive non-resident license? |
what does your license say?
believe as long as your were a legal resident at time of purchase your fine for rest of the year, whats the requirement for legal resident? reside in PA for at least 6 months prior to obtaining license? no requirement that i know of having to remain resident after that, unless its in some fine print, i would say as long as your have your hunting license and some back up like PA drivers license your good to go. |
I was a resident when I bought the license. The requirement I believe is that you have to hold a primary residence for 30 days prior to purchasing the license.
|
As long as you were a resident at the time of purchase you are fine. What some states frown upon is having resident license in more than 1 state.
|
Or before you leave get a lifetime license, if you can afford it, which is good even if you leave the state. Check with the Game Commission on the requirements. that way if you return for a visit or permanently you already have it. It also protects a little from future fee increases
|
Once you leave the state your residency is no longer PA. therefore your resident license is no longer valid. It doesnt matter if you buy a senior lifetime license or not. You have to show proof of residency to renew it every year.

Dale I don't believe that is correct. When I moved to FL I still had my permit to carry concealed firearms which I kept with me when I hunted. The regs state: So if you carry a tax receipt you should be OK for the remainder of the season. This is the only info I can find in the regulations:
Proof of Residency: Proof of Pennsylvania residency must be shown to obtain a resident hunting or furtaker license. Persons must be domiciled in PA at least 30 consecutive days prior to application. Valid PA driver’s license, certain PA and local tax receipts, or other positive means indicating residency may be used. |
Like some others said, you should be fine for this season. Next year though, you're SOL on that.
