PA Groundhog Hunting

I live in Md and a friend's father has a small farm in Pa. He has told me that I can come up and shoot as many groundhogs as I can. I know I can call Pa DNR but I was wondering if any of you Pa guys can tell me what regs there are regarding groundhogs.
Do I need a license?
Is there a bag limit?

Thanks in advance

You need a license, you need to wear a 100 sq. in. orange hat. That's about it as far as I know.

RE: PA Groundhog Hunting

kill them all!!!! The perfect gun for shooting hogs is either a .17hmr for shots out to 225 yards or a .22-250 for over that. I love hunting hogs in the summer. Even got one with my bow a few years ago while stalking a field. You do need a orange hat so you aren't mistaken as a hog yourself and a regular license, which is like 20 bucks i think...
