I was just talking to a coworker and they showed me an ariel pic of their family property in Pennsylvania. I think she said it was 800 acres. So of course I said " Can I go hunt there?" surprisingly I got told " yea I just have to let my mom and dad know, But you cant shoot towards the house. " Well I am not sure she is serious so I say I have a week off next month let me check the private land hunting laws.
I tried to find the regs online but could not find them. I saw licensing and season and bag limits but not private lan rules. Anyone know them or where to find them?
Man I tried reading their fish/game site and its more confusing than ours is. I would try to find a Pennsylvania hunting forum and join it and ask away, just like we have folks on here doing from out of state and have no clue where to start
Good idea thanks
for starters theres no semi auto shotgun or rifles allowed, not sure about handguns. I'd pretty much expect some shotgun/muzzle only areas and maybe no sunday hunting in certain areas. key in on the exact area you plan to hunt. just remember what Robert Diniro said when hunting there in the deer hunter "this is this".

semi shotgun are fine, no sunday hunting at all! , hand guns are fine with a ccp or a sportsman lic. NO SEMMI HAND GUNS
"private lan rules"
I don't believe we have a anything called private land rules,
private land is covered by general rules, you cant do anything on privet land you cant do on public. other then build a permanent stand .
It will be smart to have a written permission slip with you at all times.
You will need a general lic. and that will come with your buck tag and spring and fall turkey tags.it also comes with your small game lic.
Out of state lic. is I think 126.00 ,
what you wont to do is find out what county they are in first,
some county's are shot gun only and antler restriction of 4 on one side why the rest of the state is 3 points on one side.
I don't know how old you are but you will need a lic from another state or a hunters ed card . if you under 16 you will need to hunt with a adult .
your best move would be to get a doe tag or 2 witch are 26.00 for out of stater's .
If you get your fur takers tag you can hunt coyotes and fox 24/7 with the aid of a light .
You may only shoot one buck, BUT as many does as you get tags for.
if your a gun hunter you will need 250 squ inches of fluorescent orange chest , back , head and have it on at all times.
No semi auto rifles can be used for big game or small game .
if your a bow hunter the time to be here is the week of Halloween the rut will be kicking by then. if you have moltable doe tags you must remove a harvested doe from the wood before taking another . also you cant bait in PA. and the first thing you do after harvesting a deer is tag it even before dressing it.
if you have any question just ask i don't post much here but i am on this sight every day
