Default RE: right to hunt ammendment for PA

Good luck PA!

Here in Massachusetts we have no such law. Because of this, certain towns have passed local laws making it illegal to hunt in any way, shape of form. Even on your own property! I know a man with 20 acres of land .. 18 of it wooded, abutting a Federal Wildlife refuge, that has LOADS of deer and turkey .. but can not legally hunt them, even with a bow.

This same small town had 100 deer/car collisions last year.

The real sad part .. the refuge, The Great Meadows Wildlife refuge was a gift 90 years ago by a hunter to the state of Massachusetts to allow waterfowlers a place to hunt. The local communities have taken the gift and banned the very reason it was given to the public in the first place.
