Question for Pa Hunters .....

not certain but i think even 17 centerfires are legal....

Arms and Ammunition

General Statewide Seasons: (1) Manually operated center-fire rifles, handguns and shotguns with all-lead bullet or ball, or a bullet designed to expand on impact; (2) muzzleloading long gun of any type or caliber; and (3) long, recurve or compound bows with a peak draw weight not less than 35 pounds, and crossbows with a draw weight of not less than 125 pounds, and not more than 200 pounds. Bowhunters must use arrows equipped with broadheads having an outside diameter of at least 7/8-inch with no less than two cutting edges, which shall be in the same plane throughout the length of the cutting surface. Crossbow hunters may use bolts tipped with broadheads of cutting edge design. The use of buckshot is illegal, except in the Southeast Special Regulations Area.
 
i thought it was at least .25 caliber or bigger
but i cant find anything to prove that....
sooooooooooooooooooooooo i guess any centerfire would be legal
not that i would shoot a deer with a 17 remm.
 
Thanks for the information guys . I was told by a guy that you need at least a .308 to hunt deer with and anything smaller was too small(the same guy uses a .338 Ultra Mag to hunt deer in Pa) . I don't agree and I plan to use something a good bit smaller to take a doe this year . I do however want to do it legally .
