Default Maybe western Pa.?

Navigating the Pa DNR website is a pain. Can anyone tell me if there is an open bowhunting season in western Pa. in late December? I may make a trip to eastern Ohio for a Christmas visit and I want to hunt . We will be there for about a week. Whats up in western Pa that time of year? Can I buy a tag over the counter? Am I better off staying in Ohio? Who shot JR?

Our late season opens the day after Christmas but if you want to know the truth Greg, the deer are few and far between and very, very, very, very, very spooky unless you get a piece of prime realestate that they were chased for 2 weeks straight.

ps. the late season overlaps with flintlock muzzleloader.

I don't know seasons but Greene, Washington, Beaver counties are under antler restrictions of 4pt on a side (I think). My parents live there and have wanted me to visit and they would even find me land. But I think that you can hunt with a bow during firearm season. It's been a while since I hunted SW PA but I am going to look into it.

The day after Christmas for 3.5 weeks usually ending on the 3rd Saturday following Christmas.

So public land during that time for a bowhunt will be more like a nature sighting sit than a real hunt?

I'll see what happens as plans get more concrete. Thank you Rob, once again that is more than generous. I'd love to take you up on that if this whole plan comes together.

I'll shoot you a PM on my lunch and give you a good low down on the situation.
