Hello, im just starting to get into the guns/hunting scheme and i cannot for the life of me find the "general laws" for Pennsylvania. Ive looked on here and the pa game site.

Basically im just looking for general information like how many guns you can carry, maximum amount of shots in a weapon, types of weapons allowed to be used, etc.

If you go to the site, Pick your target species, and that should be a good start.

Scroll up to the top of this page. click on the white banner. It will take you to a virtual version of the Hunting Digest. Very interactive. This is available off any page in this forum.

if you havent got a digest you can stop in most walmarts or sporting good stores and ask for one.

sounds like the first thing you need to do is take a hunter's safety course.

This may be the best advise for a beginner.

Wasn't even going that far yet, just wanted to start reading up on the subject.

The hunter safety course is fun, and you usually get a chance to fire a rifle and a shotgun. More fun that reading the regs.

No more live fire at HTE

No more live fire at HTE

Its no longer done as part of the curriculum?

They had them at my older sons, last year, but I noticed it was only if you wanted to stay after the end on the last day, and it was your choice to stay or not.

Kind of figured it was not mandated as it was when I took it 26 years ago.

any live fire that is done is not an official part of the HTE course. the sportsmans club that is hosting the HTE class may invite people to stay on their time and under the clubs name, AFTER the class has concludd but the PGC's official stance is that NO live fire is to occur during the HTE class
