    Default Shooting skeet at state game lands

    I used to shoot skeet at the state game lands a few years ago, I know that now you have to have a hunting license or permit to shoot at any public range but do you need one to shoot skeet in the fields?

    License required:

    058 Pa Code § 135.41. State game lands.
    (c) Additional prohibitions. In addition to the prohibitions contained in the act pertaining to State game lands and § 135.2, except with the written permission of the Director, it is unlawful to:

    (15) Target shoot with firearms, bows and arrows or devices capable of launching projectiles, unless the person is in possession of a valid hunting or furtaker license signed by its holder. Exercise of privileges shall be done in a manner as to not cause injury to persons or property, or on areas not otherwise posted closed to those activities.
    IANAL

    I checked and they also changed where you can skeet shoot, you used to be able to shoot anywhere on state game lands and now it is only allowed in designated areas
