Ya can use whatever you like here i think action wise, big game cal. needs to retain 1000 ft lbs of energy at 100 yrs tho i think.
that excludes many pistols then.

Isnt at least half of NY state shotguns only?

Figured they would have gotten to banning those semi auto,s to by now. Guess not tho... chucky shumer must be busy elsewhere.

Just have one correction. In PA special regulation areas do allow the use of semi-auto shotgun with slugs, and buckshot in another area. Other than that, like Rob said, no other semi-auto may be used. As far as minimum caliber goes I'm sure they have a minimum but I'll be darned if I can find it in the big game regs. It simply states manually operated centerfire rifles.

Unless I am really wrong PA is the only state with the distinction of not allowing semi-auto rifles that is.

The guy I talked to was from Altoona,Pa (spelling). Maybe Rob could fill us in on why?

Here in Va, they are legal and no other ney votes.

Good luck. Capt Brad.

Semi-auto rifles are allowed in Manitoba. No restriction on caliber size but must be center fire.

In Pennsylvania, semi-auto guns of any kind are illegal for any big game hunting. However semi-auto shotguns are legal for turkey and small game. No semi-auto handguns either for hunting. I don't seem to mind though. The only reason I would find a semi-auto rifle suitable for hunting in PA would be for less recoil.

Walk softly and carry a big gun...or just make accurate shots.
