A. A special license is required for hunting bear, deer and turkey in this Commonwealth, which shall be in addition to the license required to hunt other game. The fee for the special license shall be twelve dollars for a resident age sixteen or over, seven dollars and fifty cents for a resident under age sixteen and sixty dollars for a nonresident.
B. The Board may create a separate special license for the hunting of bear in this Commonwealth.
