INDIANOLA, Pennsylvania — At 8 a.m. this morning, a longtime Western Pennsylvania hunter had signed in to use the new online system for antlerless dear hunting licenses and was placed in a cyber-queue. He said he was stunned to find out he was number 49,000 and was told once his number came up he would receive an email, and then would have only 10 minutes to fill out the form or lose his place in line.

“Which meant I had to stand by my computer or phone and keep checking to see if the email came up, that also meant I had to monitor to see if it turned up in my spam file as well. You know, some of us have to work for a living and I work with my hands, not by a computer,” the 42-year-old hunter said while explaining he has been hunting since he was a child, a tradition he passed on to his son.
