AR's for Predator hunting
« on: December 30, 2011, 07:05:30 PM »
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in but here goes.
Is it being pressured for the use of AR's for Predator hunting only here in PA?
If so is there a link to follow the progress on it?

I don't know if it's being pushed by anyone else but it is not being pushed by us. 
"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!

I have heard talk of it...if theres any truth to it I dont know.  I would suport it.  Why not if there is no closed season or bag limit?

I think like many other states we should be able to trap them all year.

I do hope in the near future we can. I'm looking at a RRA or a Colt to hunt in New York but it would be great to just hunt in my home state with one.

Right, even if they took baby steps and only opened it up to Predator hunters to see how it goes.

Would any of you fellas like to head up a political committee for the PPHA?  Shoot me a PM.
