Seriously, if you don't live and hunt in PA you really need to keep your opinions to yourselves on this subject.

TEmbry, you ask a valid question, and it is not the weapon's fault, however, the perception of the slobs tha the weapon is something that it isn't is the problem. Legalizing that weapon sends them into the woods with a lack of knowledge and misconceptions about what they are hunting with. Who suffers for it? The deer who are shot by hunters who do not effectilvely learn their weapons.

I would be all for a proficiency test for all hunters. It would be an incovenience for me, but would benefit this state greatly.

So for all you guys that want to argue with us PA boys either come here and hunt the opening day of gun season with us or shut your traps. Until you have seen what goes on in this state you really cannot understand.
