Here in Pa, you were able to use flintlock in regular rifle season if you wanted. They do still have flintlock only seasons throughout the state but it overlaps with special regulation areas such as Allegheny Co. or the 2B zone. You not need wear orange if after Christmas season however you need to be aware of where you are because you will have rifle hunting in 2B along with you. So we wear the orange to be safe. It boils down to all the seasons we do have and I think they do a pretty good job of giving us a lot of hunting in Pa. You can even carry your bow in regular rifle season if that is the tool of choice... I run into people using rifle, others flintlock others inline others bow all in the same area, same day..so everyone gets to have a good time. I do however have a hard time with those that think I should not do something just because they prefer not to...such as drinking or smoking or even when they pass a patition to close a bar or something..I am more afraid of those people than those that mind their own buss..if you don't want to partake, dont..but don't tell me I can't.....if that is what you want to do, no skin off my back. Would be a strange world if everyone thought the same or did the same or looked the same...and having been in charge of organizations with lots of people, it is hard to please everyone all the time..without a little rain now and then, we would never appreciate the sunshine.
