Any deer hunters shooting deer in Pa this fall or anyone picking up a road kill deer,which is legal,please check the regs on transporting the carcass.CWD caused a DMA4 to be made in northern Lancaster,Berks,and Lebanon counties.This takes in a lot of state game lands.Please check regulations.

Scopes,iron sights,peep sights ,no sights if you wish.Young kids who cannot quite hold a gun to shoot offhand will be setup on a chair with a sandbag to rest the rifle on.Once they hit steel and it dings and falls they are into shooting.
