What must all hunters born after January 1, 1970, have to buy a hunting license in Pennsylvania?

  1. A hunter education certificate

  2. A previous year's hunting license

  3. A driver's license

  4. Permission from a game warden

The correct answer is: A hunter education certificate

All hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1970, are required to have a hunter education certificate before they can purchase a hunting license in Pennsylvania. This is because the state wants to ensure that all hunters have received the proper training and education on hunting safety and laws. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not fulfill the requirement of having a hunter education certificate. Option B may have been valid in previous years, but the current law now requires the certificate. Option C is a form of identification, but it does not demonstrate the necessary knowledge and skills needed for safe hunting. Option D may seem logical since game wardens enforce hunting laws, but they do not issue hunting licenses.
