Yea, I agree, this is the best place on the net for hunting discussions.
What are these "tags" (i.e. bear tags) you are on about and how do they work? Do they need to be renewed each year?

Also, having lived in the UK for the last 19 years, I'm not too hot on species. I know there's deer and you mentioned bear. Is there much bear in PA and where is it?
Also, what other species (apart from the ones mentioned) can I shoot?
All advice much appretiated and valued!!!
