Looking to NYS for legislative models informing policy affecting hunting, gun ownership, and our outdoor traditions is a hard sell.
Our hunting/ game laws are pretty good campared to Pa. and many other states. Semi auto's legal for deer hunting, Saturday opener, centerfire rifles legal for predator hunting at night, no blaze orange requirement. You sure ain't got nuthin to brag about as far as your game laws are concerned.

Nobody needs an 11 round magazine for deer hunting. And you still can't use a semi auto for deer hunting at all. Yes, NY has some seriously fugged up gun laws. There's no doubt about that but Pa. has some weird ass laws too. Enough of them that we are no longer considering Pa. as a possibility for our escape from NY retirement move.

phugging Game Warden tried to pinch me for not enough orange on in the early MZ season while I was raking leaves on a trail into my deer stand! #1 he was trespassing with no probable cause. #2 I had no weapon of any sort but my Glock 9mm daily carry with my PTC in my pocket. #3 I threw him off my property!!!

If it helps I can relay what has happened in Virginia. We used to have a Monday start to the deer season. It was eventually changed to a Saturday opener. Years later we eventually got hunting on Sundays on private land. I am not sure if that is where PA is headed, but that is what has happened in Virginia. BTW, the number of hunters is down here in Virginia too. Unfortunately, it is a dying sport.

Pennsylvania: Senate Committee to Consider Sunday Hunting Ban Repeal


Tomorrow, the Senate Game and Fisheries Committee is scheduled to consider pro-hunting legislation, Senate Bill 147.
Senate Bill 147, sponsored by Senator Daniel Laughlin, would expand hunting opportunities for Pennsylvania hunters by eliminating the prohibition against hunting on Sundays. Prohibitions on Sunday hunting are old blue laws left on the books in just a few states. They deny hunters access one day per week despite the fact that each year, hunters pump millions of dollars into habitat restoration and conservation through Pittman-Robertson funds.
Many hunters are prevented from introducing their children or friends to hunting because they are competing against organized sports and other activities on Saturday, which is currently their only opportunity to hunt outside of the work or school week. Countless hunters stop hunting because of the lack of opportunity, both in time and accessible land. The addition of an extra day in the field, especially on the weekend, increases the opportunity to enjoy our hunting heritage. Allowing hunting on Sundays will invigorate essential hunter recruitment and retention efforts.
Your NRA-ILA will continue to keep you updated on this important pro-hunting legislation as it progresses in the legislature.

I don't see any issues with the orange clothing laws. It only takes about 30 seconds to read what you need to be wearing.

I understand what you are saying but they shouldn't be so confusing that I have to read them every time I go hunting either. I am in the woods a lot and can't keep them straight.

Same here, but this is a minor inconvenience considering the big picture. Or PA could be like NY and not require any orange. smile I almost prefer as much orange as possible when rifle hunting. Mostly for someone to see me from as far as possible and stay away.

I used to hate the orange laws.
Then I started flintlock hunting with a group that
didn't wear it. One day, I got a lesson about
visibilty. I heard something coming, I got ready,
kept the muzzle down, the guy was never in any danger.
But, I couldn't see him, until he stepped out of the brush,
fairly close. What scared me was the what if.
What if, when he was 20 or 30 yards back,
a deer had come out in between us?
I would have shot.
I always wore an orange hat after that.

Wearing orange is not an issue for me here in PA (one would be foolish not to wear it) and almost all of the hunters that I see when hunting in Chenango County, NY wear at least a little....

The point is that blaze orange is not required in NY. It's up to you whether you wear it or not and with no minimum required amount you won't get hassled or ticketed for not wearing enough of it. Choice is good.
