Deer Management Software
Overview
This application was written to allow Milton Hershey School employees and
retirees to register to hunt on School lands, to track hunts and deer spotted on those
lands, and to enter any deer harvests during the hunting seasons.
When a hunter initially submits an application to hunt on School lands, the
application is placed in a Wait status. At that point, the hunt administrators will either
Approve or Deny the hunter’s application.
If an application is approved, the hunter will receive an email notifying him/her of
his/her password and the hunting zones where the hunter has been approved to hunt.
If the application has been denied, the hunter will receive an email message stating
such.
At any time during the hunting season, the hunt administrators may suspend the
privileges of a hunter. The hunter will be notified via e-mail of this decision.
Accessing the Application
In order to access the application, direct your browser to the following site:
http://hunt.mhs-pa.org
Applying for hunting privileges
School employees or retirees who wish to hunt on School lands must submit an
application to request these privileges. They will need to click on the New Users link
from the main page of the application. If there is no New Users link, new
applications are not being accepted. The hunting administrator will control the
availability of the New Users link.
The user will be required to agree to a School Indemnity clause and the Hunting
Rules & Regulations. Agree to both the clause and the rules and check the I Agree
boxes indicating agreement and click on the Continue button.
The next step is to enter a valid email address. The email address will become
your username when using the application.
