Turkey from a tree stand ????

Is it illegal to take a turkey from a tree stand ? I was looking at another thread and it was said that it might still be illegal. If it is, please let me know. I went through the regs. and I don't see anything about this.....

    They changed it since I last checked, which was years ago.  here is the text from the PGC....
     
    "
    Tree Stands/ Shooting Lanes
    Turkey hunters may use tree stands so long as the tree stand doesn't have skirting behind which the hunter can hide. It is unlawful while hunting or preparing to hunt to (1) damage any tree on public or private property by constructing a tree stand, or using a portable tree stand or device to climb a tree; (2) damage or cut down tree branches, saplings or forest understory to clear shooting lanes; (3) use or occupy a tree stand which, when constructed, damaged a tree. This does not apply to landowners constructing stands on their own property; or persons who have received written permission from the landowner to build or use a tree stand."

    Better too far back, than too far forward.

    Up until maybe 10 years ago it was illegal to shoot turkey from a treestand in PA.w_w.

    If it has fins and gills, I'm there.
