Question for Pa. guys???
I read somewhere that you cannot hunt with semi auto weapons. Is that true?
I have a Rem. .243 semi and Rem. 1100 12 ga.. If what I read is true then I don't think I can hunt deer in the state. I also read that it is flintlock only for muzzleloader.

RE: Question for Pa. guys???
No semi-autos at all.
Semi-autoshotguns only when used for small game, fur bearer, turkey or unprotected birds.
(didn't find a rider saying whether or not they were legal for deer, so I would have to say assume no. though you can write or email the PA Game Commission to check.)
Flintlock-only during the main/regular season which is just after Christmass. During the early season you can use any muzzleloader, flint, percussion or inline, that fits in the minimum/maximum regs for the season.
