No need to practice, just throw 5 rounds out there as fast as you can and you're sure to hit something! Sorry guys but I'm old fashion, was taught with a 30/30 and only allouded one she'll. My grandfather was very strict about taking your time and not causing the animal to suffer.

I support this as well, although I'd like to see small game added to the list.  Mike

There is no doubt if it passes it will only take a couple years before they are legal for everything.

I don't support.   I have hunted in states, like WV where semis are legal for deer and have seen some extremely ugly incidents of idiocy and spray and pray techniques during deer season that far exceed anything Ive seen in Pa.   Family and friends have also had bad experiences, yet none of us have had similar scenarios in Pa to the specifics I speak of even though we hunt and have hunted 100X the hours in Pa and we have more hunters here.

And yes, it would end up for deer as always, as the ultimate "goal".

 And to leave it up to pgc is pure stupidity.

You may as well just open them up for everything instead.   Either limit the use in legislation such as the bill permitting predators etc. only, or whatever restrictions, or just open it all up and make them just another legal firearm.   No reason for the comedic theatrics of going through all the fussing, only to do it all again with pgc having the say and them doing whatever they want anyway.

Personally, my vote is to keep it as is.

I would support for predators only but would have concerns and would be my 2nd choice.

On the other hand, we don't need to have sundays & semis ready to put into action on the doe herd as soon as the deer forest study is finished or the world will end.      Whatever happens, happens.    Next comes push by many of the same people for the Saturday opener for rifle to add more time to kill even more deer, and the beat goes on...

BeenThereDoneThat.
dpms I have, in the past, enjoyed reading your opinion, hunting stories and, seeing your pictures.  But lately, it seems, you are straining to defend or, make your point.  Challenging the thoughts and opinions of others is a natural reaction to any comment no matter what the subject.  What I don't get is "give it up man" or "HB 223 Did you send support" in response to another's opinion.  Those remarks have me wondering if you become easily irritated with anyone that may oppose your dreams and desires?  Like you, others have their dreams and wish to make them known be they, newly introduced ideas or, just plain old school.

Wayne is probably using what we have seen as the outcome of letting the PGC regulate various aspects of hunting and the relationships with the non hunting and anti-hunting segment of the population as the basis for his comments. And yes, it is a lot about the deer and should be as the DEER is the engine that drives it all at the present time in spite of the PGC's best attempts to sideline the hunters and deer in favor of non-hunting activities.
In my opinion you do get very much like the liberals when they don't get what they want with the (settled science claim, ignore facts that don't fit your agenda, name calling , etc.) I still well remember the crossgun discussions and Sunday hunting issues from the past.
The PGC really should regulate hunting and firearms, it's too bad we can't trust them to do so in a manner that helps the hunter.

Lets all just remember though that there are ebbs and flows with game management.

ROLE OF PG==Manage the game lands and set seasons and bag limits to control wildlife for the maximum sustained harvest of game animals and birds. Secondary role should be to manage non game species to maintain adequate numbers with emphasis on threatened species.  Before the enviro's   took control that is what they did.
