Only go pheasant hunting on public land anymore. Deer hunting is done on a buddy’s 100acre property up in Bradford.

I quit going during the rifle season here in Tennessee. Way too many idiots in the woods starting the last Saturday in November. I only go during the archery season and sometimes during the 2 muzzle loader seasons.
Me and the wife were going out to eat after visiting my parents that live on the Tn/Ky line. We passed through a small town called Gainesboro, TN. I stopped at a little mom and pop store that was also a State big game check in station. Got out of the car and walked past a truck that had a small crowd standing around the bed of the truck. They were laughing their asses off at the guy that owned the truck. Went in, got our drinks and was coming back to our car a d could see in the bed. The guy had shot someone's goat and had the tag on it. When I got back in the car and told the wife she called BS . I told her I would drive slow so she could get a look. As we passed by the truck, she looked and turned to me with her eyes wide open and said "That dumbass killed someone's goat!" As we got passed the truck we could see the plates on the truck. Michigan.

Oklahoma has plenty of funds too. I have a cousin that's a fudd. He hunts with a 7mm mag and if he sees you not wearing blaze orange in the woods he says: where's your orange? Heh heh

Come out and there's 3 guys with 7600s, or Amish BARs, by the road. So I ask what they saw and they say 'Didn't see anything, but we heard something in the brush. " So they pumped and shot at a noise till the guns ran dry. No more for me. But those are the same Fudds you're talking about. I had the same experience back in high school. Dad took me hunting in PA and for 4 days all we did was dodge assholes shooting at any and everything from sun up to sun down. I finally said this isn't hunting to me. Dad agreed and we never went to PA to hunt again. We both loved hunting but not in PA. |

Quote HistoryAnd in WW IV it will be used as a club. In the meantime, the ammo is so darn expensive, even to reload, my .45 auto is relegated to a safe queen. For going on three years now I can't find primers at all, much less at a reasonable price. None of the gun stores in the area haven't had a tray of primers to sell in all that time. One store finally selling ammo even. |

I have never hunted in PA but these stories are not unique to PA, I have heard the same things said about hunters in Virginia and in Texas.
I do find it amusing how many people here are complaining about PA hunters supposed biases while demonstrating the same sort of biases they are bitching about in the same post. PA hunters choose larger calibers you don't like so that is bad but your AR chambering is fine. Why should you care what caliber they choose? Wearing orange in the woods for safety is bad but then when someone takes a pot shot at you in your doe brown mossy oak you are surprised. I am not saying that shooting at unidentified targets is ever acceptable but the expectation seems to be that hunters have some orange and if you don't see it then it isn't a person. Again it not acceptable to shoot at movement regardless but when in Rome you really need to do as the Romans do or face the potential consequences. Complaining about how it is like a war zone in the woods and then wanting the powers that be to legalize semi-autos. Let me be clear, I am entirely fine with that but you do realize that will (if the posts are to be believed) make things 10 times worse without a magazine size cap because instead of 3 or 4 rounds they can instead dump 30. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Texas, Arkansas and Missouri have PA beat per cap You must be talking about Eastern Arkansas. Between the gangs, drug wars, and city folk, they manage to shoot year-round at anything that moves. Some idiot shot up a hospital today and killed one person in Sherwood on the Eastside. The five most dangerous cities in the state are all in East AR. I have a ranch in West Central AR and during deer season rarely hear more than two shots a day. |

Except for so much farmland being turned into housing plans as people leave the shithole cities - it already has sounded like a war zone.
It's gotten to be quieter since there is less and less public access hunting and many farms are posted with access for "police rod and gun club" members only. So you limit magazines to 5 round only It used to be crazy my way with the amount of shooting and strangers showing up. Last two seasons I only heard 1-2 shots within 1/2 mile or so. Fewer people try to go onto the municipal water authority ground. |

I believe it. Definitely have their own hunting culture. I used to love to go up to Clearfield and hunt "buck season" with a buddy I worked who was from there. I didnt understand why the deer went nocturnal so quickly until a few opening days

Pretty much gave up gun season unless I go upstate to friend's cabin.
Mostly archery and a little flintlock season after Xmas. Where I live now, it used to be a warzone the 1st day and Saturdays during deer season. Cars lined up both sides of the road. Lucky if you get 4 cars anymore the 1st day. |

But the fuck if i know anyone who received/filled out/or even saw the questionnaire.

Going to the range is entertaining with a can or two and a SBR lower. “You need a special license for that?”.

Official PA Fudd gun hunting motto is "If its brown, its down"
All the stories of it sounding like a warzone are true. I hated going out for fun season as the second you could legally shoot (its listed in the handbook) all hell would be unleashed. Deer drives full or retards pointing guns up at other hunters in trees. Shooting at "noise" and "I saw movement." I started hunting during the archery only season, but small game and bird hunters are just as bad. |

Firearms season really isn’t that bad. I won’t disagree on some of the Fudd behavior but I haven’t had many bad experiences in public or private. Definitely less hunters out each and every year, though. I’m not mad about less competition and better access to certain tracts of public.

I would welcome semi auto's in hunting season with restrictions. Caliber size and capacity. There has to be certain rules for hunting. A buddy of mine got shot in the back with a 30-30 at 60 yards by an idiot that missed a shot at a spike. I almost got shot on an opening day, guy hit the tree I was seated against about a foot over my head. I started bowhunting the next year. Quit bowhunting when they introduced firearms and I nearly got shot by some idiots that decided hunting was boring so they instead started target shooting, in the woods, during archery season, 80 yards from me and in my direction. Hunting in PA can be quiet the experience sometimes so we definitely need rules.

While I’m not a Hunter I do agree the semi-auto ban is stupid though I get it as there are a lot of stupid people out there. It’s a case of regulating to the lowest common denominator.
As much as I am not a fan of Pennsylvania we are the last bastion of freedom in the North East! Look around us, we are surrounded by liberal states with liberal gun laws. New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware etc. and they keep flooding into this state and bringing their liberal values with them. To be honest, I am surprised we have held out as long as we have and it probably won’t last much longer. |
