I`m gonna wait a little and give it time to calm down somewhat and see how back to normal it gets , before I decide.

 

I’ll still buy my license at Walmart. They aren’t open 24-7 now, so I won’t be going at midnight. Kinda dumb on my part....the PGC doubled the DMAPs for the area I hunt, and now it takes 8-10 days to sell out. Old habits die hard.

 

I will buy mine at my local store - Weaver's Store in Fivepointville.

 

I think we have to wait untill June to renew anyway, just wondering which way would work out best. Thanks.

 

I've been getting mine online for a few years now. I Hate Walmart, and its pretty much the only choice around here.

 

How long is it normally for you to recieve the license?

 

I would think it would be more of a regional thing, lots of places that sell hunting licenses are open now, like everyone's fave Walmart.

In another month, things should have improved even more. For the harder hit NE and SE regions, I can understand where it might be more of a challenge, higher risks being out of the house, just based on numbers.

I also think it needs revisited why someone with a lifetime combo would need to renew each year. Just issue a one-time card and if lost they can get a new one.

And not to advocate breaking the law, but my two cents is few WCOs would fine someone for carrying last year's senior lifetime license because as an "at risk" person, the senior was reluctant to go out unless necessary. Not everyone isvtech saavy to do things online.
The info is all there to look up. The media has some people truly afraid, their political agendas have muddied the truth.

And I also think the online system will work OK. Print the screen after completing the renewal or take a pic on your phone.

Should they reuse the same tags each year? Maybe make them out of plastic so they can wash off the blood or dirt and have it ready for the following year? Waugh!

 

I've been buying mine on line , never any problem.

 

Get mine online pretty much every year.

 

I'll be getting mine at the local store country store in Tidioute, The Trading Post, where I'll been getting it for the last 10 years.

 

I wont walk into a wallmart so Ill either grab mine at the gunshop I use or get it online. Ive never had an issue getting my license on line.

 

I'll buy mine in store. No different than going for groceries but will take less time.

 

When buying DMAP tags with limited availability, you only had two options. #1. Go online at midnight and purchase them at the Outdoor Shop.
#2. Hit the Walmart store and wander around till you can find a clerk who new how to run the PALs machine in sporting goods. #3. Wait till morning and hope your area didn’t sell out and buy your license.

 

Online, as I have for the past several years. Of course, most if those years I didn't have a choice since I was in a place that didn't sell PA licenses.........

 

Been getting mine online for 10 years at least.

Just bought my pandemic 2nd turkey tag since I figger I'm gonna have lotsa time to hunt the gooblers this year with nothing better to do. In my mailbox in 3 bidness days, in the midst of a pandemic. "Good enough for guvment". Goobs here I come.

 

I'm sort of leaning on the online route at the moment, and only a three day wait isn't excessive at all. The local Wally World is about all I have to get my SL replacement, the local tackle shop is out of bussiness, and Dicks Sporting Goods is never seeing me again after what they did.

Wally World has a line waiting to get in, social sense in the store, social gathering at the door. Too much risk for those of us in super high risk catagories. Parking lot there looks like they're giving things away in there.

The wife is talking about getting her license this year. She's let it go since we moved here, but she has her old license, and her Hunter Education Instructor ID card, so I'm figuring that won't be any problem.......only problem will be for the groundhogs and deer!:surprise2:
