Hunting with "Special Firearms"

**LMTguy** · April 26th, 2018, 08:51 AM

I was taking a look at this year's upcoming hunting season on the PAGC website and they have a section for Junior and Senior hunting season. The title says,"DEER, ANTLERLESS SPECIAL FIREARMS (Statewide)".

What is a "Special Firearm"?

It's so confusing with all the laws... Who knows?

I'm fairly certain it means those people can use firearms that the general hunting populace cannot during that period. For instance, a shotgun or rifle when the rest of us are limited to archery tackle and muzzleloaders during the same time.

Yup, seniors and juniors get three days of anterless rifle at the end of the Muzzle-loader week in October.

It should have another comma or two

"DEER, ANTLERLESS, SPECIAL, FIREARMS (Statewide)

Commas Are Important.
Their the difference between
Lets eat, Grand mom and
Let's eat Grand mom!

That makes sense.
