If it hasn't changed since I was that age, it was16.

But I can't be sure of that since it was, well better that 15 years ago.

Yup, once you turn 16, you are free to roam by yourself.

When I was an instructor in hunter safety a few years ago, it was 16.

RE: question for pa hunters
 

Yeah it's 16.
I was so happy when I was 16, since no one else in my family really hunts, I got to go hunting without having to drag my dad along with me.

forgot another question.... how old do u have to be to take another hunter out with u thats a junior.

thanks again

I believe it is 18....but I'm not sure.

Actually now that I think about it....there might be some regulation that says something about needing to be related to them when they are 12 and 13, but I'm not sure.

There is some other law being passed that has to do with letting youngsters hunt, but I don't know anything about that. Maybe someone else does know.
