Road hunting is technically not illegal in PA, you can ride around and look all you wish, you just can't shoot, shooting from a vehicle is illegal unless you have a special permit via handicapped and then the vehicle has to be parked off of a road. Shooting at an animal after stepping out of the vehicle is illegal unless you are 35 yards off the road (I think that's the correct distance, correct me if it is not, I don't ride around to do it so I'm not quite sure). Shooting onto someone else's property is illegal, especially without permission and on posted property, so in reality, road hunting has no wins, when done successfully, it makes you a poacher, I prefer not to be one.

If I were in a state that allows shooting from vehicle, I still would not do it, it's not appealing to me and the way I hunt. I don't derive success simply because of a tagged animal.
