What's it like to be able to hunt with semi automatic weapons? In PA we are still not allowed to hunt with our semi's like the AR-15 or AKM's. So we end up investing hundreds or thousands into a gun we can only use to hunt paper targets or beer cans.     

I don't really use firearms to hunt. I don't really hunt, period. When I do, its with a .22 or a crossbow.

You're in PA, too?

Hunting with a manual rifle is the only way to hunt. You don't need a semi-automatic gun to kill an animal.

You might change your mind if you just spent over $650 on a gun and you end up finding out you're one of the only two states that bans them for hunting. Really though a semi for hunting would kinda be a good idea. If your first round hits but doesn't kill it. You're able to put a second round into it pretty damn fast. So it greatly removes the possibility of the deer getting away when injured.   

I have a cousin that hunts wild boar with a full auto rifle of some sorts. I've watched him to do it a time or two. He just kind drives his truck up to where they are at night time, blinds them with a spot light, and just lays into them full auto. It's pretty funny actually.

Pretty sure it's not legal but whatever.

One of my good friends owns a ranch up in northern Florida and I used to go boar hunting with him. Good times.

That sucks. I'm guessing there are regulations against you hunting with your gun outside of PA and/or you don't want to drive out of state every time you want to hunt.

A black powder man eh? My dad is big on those.

No idea. Worst comes to worst I can always get a New York State license. I'm about 30 minutes from the border and I live in the same wooded areas. When you think about it it is kinda of a fuck you. With the AR-15 you can get them in camo which implies that it's for hunting. Then all of a sudden you find out you can't use it for hunting.

Carbon.  But I'm up in Williamsport for skool.

When I get a vehicle this year we should meet up.

If.
1) I'm socially awkward
2) Mother wants me to work this summer and I don't, so we'll see how that goes >__>

Add Ohio to that list too. You can only hunt with shotguns or with cartridges with straight walls.
