RE: PA RED TAGS???
Not to be combative, but I was told that the PGC did away with the red tag system last year.
They do have a DMAP system where you can buy a tag and hunt in a State Forest or other place that is covered under the DMAP system.
But if the only season that is in - is the Muzzleloader rifle, then you would have had to already have a Muzzleloader license before hand to be eldigible for that program.
The rules say that the license is good for any hunting season as long as you have the proper license. and abide bythe rules of that season.
