It felt like hurry up and wait for Pennsylvania hunters whose licenses and antlerless deer tags purchased online in late June hadn’t arrived in the mail by mid-July.
Many who had rushed to buy when licenses first went on sale were still waiting for paper copies more than three weeks later. Some orders were only partially filled. The Pennsylvania Game Commission was fielding calls about the issue from “many” hunters, said agency spokesman Travis Lau. 

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.”
