PA Resident Hunting License Question?
#2
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.

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 therefore your resident license is no longer valid.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:
may be used.
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
