I'm from MD and I will say PENNSYLVANIA IS BY FAR THE BEST STATE TO HUNT OR BE A HUNTER IN HANDS DOWN. Where to start a ton of public ground to hunt. But people aren't pricks most will let you hunt private if you ask. Game commison actually cares about the state and not just writein tickets. The youth mentorship program is such a good thing they are doing for the youth of today. The stocking of game birds is unbelievably nice of them. That's pa lic money at work.

In MD we have very little public land very high lic fees and dnr does NOTHING to better the habitat for any wildlife. I am a MD resident but only because of family being here wouldn't be for that I'd be in pa.
PA is Awesome state and kuddos to all those involved.
