(a) General rule. A guiding permit issued under this subchapter is required for any person to engage in any commercial or noncommercial guiding activity anywhere within this Commonwealth for the following designated species of wildlife: elk and bobcat. A guiding permit is also required for any person to engage in any commercial guiding activity for coyotes on any lands designated as State game lands.

(b) Additional permits. Possession of a commercial or noncommercial guiding permit issued under this subchapter does not diminish an individual's obligation to obtain any other applicable Federal, State or local permits concerning the guiding activities.

(c) Guiding on State game lands. Notwithstanding the general prohibitions of § 135.41 (relating to state game lands), a commercial guiding permit issued under this subchapter authorizes its holder to engage in commercial guiding activities on lands designated as State game lands for each species of game wildlife designated on the commercial guiding permit. This subsection shall not be construed to require a commercial or noncommercial guiding permit for noncommercial guiding activities occurring on lands designated as State game lands.

(d) Licenses, permits and stamps required. A commercial or noncommercial guide shall maintain valid licenses, permits and stamps applicable to each species for which they are conducting commercial or noncommercial guiding activities, excepting only elk licenses, if applicable. A guide shall carry these licenses, permits and stamps required by this subsection on their person while engaged any commercial or noncommercial guiding activities and shall produce same, upon demand, to any officer whose duty it is to enforce the title.

The provisions of this §147.904 amended under the Game and Wildlife Code, 34 Pa.C.S. §§ 721(a), 2102(a) and 2901(b).
