New hunting license sales system resumes following morning glitches
Hunting licenses were elusive on the morning of opening day of the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s new hunting license sales system on Monday.
The system, which, for the first time, allows hunters to buy general hunting licenses and add-on licenses such as doe licenses at the same time, operated at a slow pace when it opened at 8 a.m. before crashing around 9:15 a.m.
After a two-hour delay, the system was up running around 11:15 a.m.
Hunters hoping to secure doe licenses for their favorite wildlife management units lined up and waited outside of the Butler County Government Center before it opened at 8:30 a.m. to buy licenses at the treasurer’s office.
The line began forming at 7:45 a.m. in the sporting goods department at the Walmart in Butler Crossing in Butler Township.
