what does a PA license cost to hunt pheasants. im moving close to pa and it may be something to think about. 

[Bones]

$101 non resident license plus pheasant permit is $27 I think.

I have always wanted to try it but don’t know where to start with where to go.

If you do the math, PA stocks a tiny percentage of pheasants compared by hunter numbers and land mass as NJ does.  The big number is deceiving....they sell over 850,000 hunting licenses per year still.  Someone with time on their hands can compare by pheasant stamps and number of birds stocked.

I have hunted both pa and nj bird. 

NJ is so awesome and their program. You know when and how many. The grounds are kept. The only thing is the amount of nhunters.

I don't do this type of hunting so I can't tell you which state is better but this number of 260,000 means nothing on its ow. If NJ releases 50,000 birds and you consider just the size of each state you get the same number of birds per SM. However I am sure PA vs NJ's public huntable land is many times greater than comparison of states total size and this would make NJ better.

Definitely going to be going over the Milford Bridge again this year for some PA birds! Let me know if anyone wants to meet up and explore greener pasture ... But seriously
