"Pick me up on the way out 70 east, we'll stop at WalMart pick up some cheap crossbows and go poaching in pA"
I always get a giggle out of that old excuse that Xbows are "poaching weapons" What poacher in his right mind wants to shine a deer, launch an arrow at it, then wait 1/2 and hour for it to bleed out then wander thru the woods with flashlights looking for it
Ummm....you want to outlaw "poaching weapons" take a look at a 22mag and how it is used for head shots...THATS the choice for poachers..
Wyvern
....now because its classed as a PISTOL and can be carried while SPOTLIGHTING.
that was a big mistakeLETTING THE POACHER CARRY A PISTOL, FOR SURE.[:@]
To my knowledge you can't have ANY weapon in your vehicle while spotting deer in Pa? Am I mistaken?
we caught a poacher spotlighting after hrs.
we know he shot a big buck but did not catch him shooting.
in his vehicle he had a THOMPSON CONTENDER 222 CAL.
the new law in pa says you CAN CARRY A PISTOL WHILE SPOTLIGTHING.[:@]
also you can carry it in archery season while hunting with a bow.[:@]
so, they could not take his pistol,even tho they know he used it to poach.
isnt this a great rule from PGC.[:@]
