RE: Pa Game Comm. Overhaul
My feeling is this. I would prefer to see an inline/shotgun season instead of rifle. I understand rifle hunters make up a larger portion of the total hunters in Pa, so alot of guys would see this as infringing on a sport they enjoy. If it is truly about the hunting experience which it should be I don't think there is a person who currently rifle hunts who will say... That's it I am done b/c i can't use a rifle. The reason I have a preference for the inline in comparison to the rifle is you must apply the one shot one kill strategy. This will decrease the amount of risky shots taken and wounding deer. More patience will be necessary and more practice will be necessary. The shotgun can hold 3 shells and you will still have guys who are willing to sacrifice range for amount of ammo, but this is still better than having the ability to send 5 rds down range at running deer.
