Re: Is AR-15 for big game OK'd just a rumor?
Yes. For the 2016 2017 rifle season (last year) you were able to use semi-auto rifles for deer hunting. The Governor signed the bill right before the season started. Unfortunately some idiots all over the state F'd it up for everyone and A holes like me wrote to the game commission with concerns. Again all I suggested as there were no regulations for that season regarding semi autos was to limit the magazines to 5 rounds for hunting purposes.

Re: Is AR-15 for big game OK'd just a rumor?
Sorry, AR-15's are not allowed for small game hunting (unless it is chambered in .22 caliber or less RIMFIRE.
The exception to this in small game is groundhog. There are no caliber restrictions on them.
For furbearers, you may use semi-automatic rifles in any caliber, so you can use them for thing like coyotes, fox, racoons, skunks, possums etc.

Here is the 2016 Digest. Could you maybe point to the page?
http://maps.dcnr.pa.gov/bof/huntmap/...g%20Digest.pdf
The bill that Wolf signed on November 21 2016 did not change any hunting regulations directly. It removed the prohibition against using semi-rifles and authorized the PGC to regulate their use in hunting. There is no way that the PGC could chaange the rules in the middle of the hunting season. They barely came to an agreement by the time the 2017/2018 handbook was written. It also did nothing for semi-auto pistols in hunting (still prohibited).
