One of my favortie movie - Shane.
Born in Pa. in the early 1940's, I hunted there since maybe age 12. Never ever was there Sunday hunting. Grew up planning the week and the time off around Sunday as a travel time in addition to church. Liked it. Still like it.
As for the semiautomatics...took a guy hog hunting that used one. A simple shot at 130 yards turned into a machine-gun like attack and miss proposition with me getting hit with the cases. A joke in my book. Glad they are banned as they foster idiotic behavior by all too many.
Wish they would ban them from public rifle ranges. They are a source of constant irritation to other shooters.
A slob hunter will always be a slob. With your attitude it will be easy to take your sniper rifle.
After the first shot, all the rest are just NOISE.My motto:
If you miss the first shot you do not deserve a second shot.
HUMmmm kind of getting of topic I see....
Does any one really know if it passed....I heard semi-auto for small game and varmints only...but don't know for sure ?..
I am from PA and I don't understand the straw hat and black clothes thing..I don't get it..I am in kind of in a remote area surrounded by Game Lands..I am 4 miles from a Game Lands Shooting range...
How about if I add horse and buggies to that? If that doesn't ring a bell, how about someone with the same clothing standing in a county courthouse treasurer's office with a fistful of C notes buying OTC antlerless licenses?
So all the survey proved was that 50% of those surveyed don't care enough to respond to said survey. Someone is blowing smoke up someone's buttock....
Like anything else in politics, it's not the general public. It's a small, loud, vocal minority of other hunters who are the greatest impediment to changing PA UNLESS it's in their favor. Witness the semi-auto vote reversal.And I guess in PA there is no such thing as a 25 caliber or larger air-gun???...still stuck in minutia in PA. You can hunt with an airgun, but it has to be a 177 or 22 and only 22 on woodchucks, and no bb's and make sure you attach an orange flag to it, don your orange hat, genuflect, and in no way can you use a self-loading airgun...cause lord knows the rules don't address that...
Creeping along from the 1800's into the bureaucracy state....welcome to PA. I am wondering why I am moving back.
"For woodchucks and furbearers, air-guns must be at least 22 caliber". You can most certainly use the 25 caliber pellets. The only type of hunting BB's is good for is insect huntingAnd I guess in PA there is no such thing as a 25 caliber or larger air-gun???...still stuck in minutia in PA.
