Hey Cardeer that doesnt sound very good for PA. Ive hunted PA for 15 years but unfortunately Iam currently stationed in the USMC in California Camp Pendleton. I had to take a couple years off of hunting in PA, but will soon return when I finish my 4 years in 2004. I ve been archery hunting in California which is completely different hunting than Iam used to, but I managed to take two 2X2 blacktails this year. Their season started in July. I never missed a PA archery season untill I joined the USMC, one of the hardest things for me was to miss the opener of PA. With all these new law proposals in PA, I sure hope hunting will still be as great as when I left in 2000. Sounds like there has been a lot of changes. I wish you the best of luck my friend and God Bless.
