Was just looking on Penn Live. The Game Commission voted on semi autos today. Big game deer, bear, elk and turkey did NOT become legal to hunt with semi autos. Looks like they took baby steps after all. I couldn't find what was approved. Only what wasn't. I'm assuming they gave the go ahead for small game, ground Grizz and furbearers....

Yeah it sounded like they got a lot of negative complaints about using a semi-automatic. I believe they didn't get any positive feedback because they led the public to believe it was going to be legalized back in January and everyone in favor said nothing. So apparently only negative people push for the bill not to pass for big game. The squeaky wheel always gets the oil.

They are allowed for fur bearers. Just not for big game.
