Lehigh Valley native Earl Hower, now of Leesburg, Virginia, set his cellphone alarm for 8 a.m. hoping to be among the first in line when Pennsylvania’s nonresident antlerless deer permits went on sale July 10.
“At 8:00:23 (23 seconds) I was number 3,954 in the queue,” said Hower, who, with Wildlife Management Unit 2G clearly sold out, settled for a doe tag in unit 5C. “I bought at 8:48.”
Although it made him late for his morning commute, the experience “wasn’t too painful,” he said, “unlike for the several thousands during the opener.”
