ON THE CHANGES AND WHAT TO EXPECT IF YOU’RE A DEER HUNTER HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA. YOU HAVE LIKELY RECEIVED THIS FLIER IN THE MAIL ALERTING YOU THAT APPLYING FOR YOUR DOE LICENSE THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT THAN IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST. AND THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR MONDAY. GETTING INTO THE WOODS FOR DOE SEASON CAN NOW HAPPEN WITHOUT THE WAIT. NO MORE PINK ENVELOPES. WE’RE ALL EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE WON’T HAVE TO SEND THOSE IN. IN FACT, ACCORDING TO THE STATE GAME WARDEN, YOU CAN’T MAIL YOUR APPLICATION ANYMORE, BUT YOU CAN NOW GET YOUR DOE TAG FASTER IN TWO WAYS. YOU CAN GO TO ANY PLACE THAT YOU BUY YOUR HUNTING LICENSE, WALMART AT ANY SPORTING GOODS STORE THAT SELLS A HUNTING LICENSE. AND YOU CAN GO THERE AND YOU CAN BUY YOUR LICENSE RIGHT THERE AND YOUR DOE TAG RIGHT THERE NOW OR YOU CAN GO ONLINE. THE NEW SITE WHICH REQUIRES THAT YOU SIGN IN, BECOMES LIVE AT 8 A.M. MONDAY. AND ALL HUNTERS CAN BUT MAYBE SHOULDN’T LOG IN RIGHT THEN I’M HOPING HUNTING LICENSES DON’T TURN INTO TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERTS WITH THESE DOE TAGS. A TON OF PEOPLE ARE BUYING AT 8 A.M. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND. AND JUMPING ON ALL AT THE SAME SAME TIME, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT AREAS LIKE TO BE IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND PITTSBURGH AREA. THERE’S ALWAYS A LOT OF DOE TAGS AVAILABLE. EACH AREA IS DESIGNATED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF TAGS AND THERE’S A PROCESS TO ONLY PA RESIDENTS CAN APPLY. MONDAY, THE EARLIEST OTHERS CAN GET THEIR DOE TAG IS JULY 10TH. THE SECOND ROUND FOR ADDITIONAL TAGS BEGINS JULY 24TH. THE THIRD AND FOURTH ROUNDS ARE IN AUGUST AND EACH HUNTER IS ALLOWED SIX DOE TAGS, WHICH THEY NOW CAN ALL BE APPLIED FOR FROM HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME. DOE LICENSE SPECIFICALLY WERE WRITTEN INTO LAW THAT HAD TO BE ISSUED OUT THROUGH THE COUNTY TREASURER’S OFFICE. AND SO WE HAD TO GET THE LAW CHANGED THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE TO IF YOU RECEIVE THIS FLIER IN THE MAIL, YOU CAN JUST USE THIS QR CODE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY FOR YOUR DOE TAG. OR YOU CAN HEAD TO WTAE DOT COM. WE HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THERE AS WELL IN WESTMORELAND
