Hap,
Check on the viewer, to see how SGL compares to County borders.

I've seen marking posts on SGLs where they would stick out enough to see them

Thanks guys,the area is in one wmu but two different counties,hard to tell in the woods where the line would be so unless I know for sure if I hunt later during gun season I'll err on the side of caution and use a shotgun.

One WMU but two Counties... if it is 1 WMU, what does a County line matter? WMUs are separated by Highways, roads, rivers, etc.
And doe tags are strictly by WMU.

It's been a few decades, but I've hunted the top of the Blue Mountain a few times. There weren't many markers, but I did see some stone markers that said Lehigh on one side and Schuylkill on the other.

How could a cop enforce a stop sign if there is no stop sign?

Only safe bet Hap is using the shotgun, just make sure it's a pump, that's where I run into problems. My slug gun is an autoloader, so if i'm hunting one side of the creek, I can use a .300 savage, the other I can use my auto loader, but I can't interchange. I need to get a pump slug gun, then it would be safe on either side....

Every year some Maryland hunters stray many miles into PA and claim they never saw a boundary marker. Some have been known to be 25 miles north. Although how they could get so far without passing a PA state highway sign is a puzzle.
It is a bit like the trespassing. It is not up to anyone to tell you where you are. it is your burden to know where you are. If your smart phone is working, there are apps to have the phone show your location on a map.

I run into the county line issue sometimes as well. No rifle hunting in Bucks- but that extends into Berks county where there are a couple small SGL's.
Does anyone know what the penalty is for hunting with a rifle in a shotgun only area?

Point is, do your best to estimate where the county line is. If it isn't marked the greatest, go by your best judgement and don't sweat it. Nobody is going to get cited if they did their due diligence and end up 50 yards over the line.

Get a topographical map and learn how to use it. Topographical maps have the County lines, as well as most other features marked. You can even use it in conjunction with a GPS unit and know almost exactly where you are on the map at any time.

Exactly. There is a site online that has nice topo maps, not sure if I can post the link. If somebody can't read the map and have a good estimate of their location in the woods, then maybe that person shouldn't be venturing into the woods.R. S. B. said:
