PA has a similar rule. For adult hunters 16 and above in most of the state a buck has to be 3 or more points on a side. There are some areas in western pa that it is 4 points on a side or more. And then in the heavier populated around philly a pittsburg all bucks as long they have spikes 3 inches or more are fair game to all hunters. Now in the 3 and 4 point to a side youth hunters may take any buck as long as it has spikes 3 inches or more. These rules were put in place a few years ago and have seemed to help produce more mature bucks here in pa. But keeping th rules the same as they were for youth hunters was a very good move in my book.
