PA flintlock season?

[Brokennock]

I barely got to get in the woods for the Connecticut muzzleloader season.
Aside from guns and gear, what do I need and how do I get it, so I cab drive down to PA for a day and hunt during the late flintlock season?
Especially interested to hear from other non PA residents who have done this.

The only other things you need are the license and a place to hunt. License can be picked up many places. I assume you'll be hunting NE Pa for your shortest drive.

Yup. Closest place I cab find some public land to wander.

Might be a pipe dream depending on license and tag fees.

Someday/year I will get there though.

Here is the link to the PA Game Commission. Game Commission. You will need a non-resident general license and a muzzleloader tag. There is a good amount of public land in NE PA. Both state game lands and state forest. Here is a link to the state forests. Find a Forest.
I hope you have a good adventure!

Peregrine beat me to the licenses.

Here are a couple links to make it easy to find public hunting

Your NR License will cost you $101.97 and the NR Muzzleloader will cost you $21.97
Once you hit Pa on I-84 west get off the first exit which is the Matamoras exit.
Hang left go about 2-3 miles and CumminsHill Road will be on your right.
It goes under I-84 and go up 4 1/2 miles and you'll hit plenty of Delaware State Forest land.
Deer are there.
I'm off this coming Wednesday and after that I'm off on Thursdays maybe we can meet up if you come down.

Thank you both

Well, I guess that's out for this year. Just can't afford that right now.
But thank you for the information.
And I appreciate the location tip too.

I used to live in PA and hunted that season. I’ll be headed that way in January to hunt for a few weeks in January. Mainly in the center and southwest part of the state.

I think all told for my non-resident licenses and doe tags which I applied for in July, I have about $200 sunk into it. Which seemed extremely reasonable to me.

What area of the central part of Pa are you heading to?

I would most likely just be looking for the closest piece of public land available to where I am in Connecticut.

I did notice some "game lands" in my travels in the Wilkes-Barre area a few years ago. Closer would be better.

Brokennock, I was replying to narc50 . Was wondering if he will be close to my area. While I dont have a flintlock yet for hunting deer, I love to get out and push deer around.

Lol.
I have 2 flintlock 20 gauge guns. I could rent you one for the license and tags fees, lol.

 

[3Setters]

Quite the offer, but you'd have to drive an extra 3-4 hours to my house. But with my bird season now closed, I'll be hooking up with neighbors to chase rabbits, or maybe take my percussion SxS out to look for squirrels. Sitting for deer is boring to me.

State College. Going to be hunting 4D until season closes and then moving down to Pittsburg.
Fortunately, I have a job that I can work remote.

Forecasting rain for the opener tomorrow. If so I've got the rest of the week to go out so not too concerned.

NARC50, if you're interested in someone pushing deer around for you in the new year let me know, provided you are hunting on public land. I'm 30 minutes west of SC. Had a few moving around today running dogs.

@3Setters
I have not figured out how to start a conversation. I am assuming I can't until I reach a certain number of posts or something. Send me a conversation and I'll respond with my cell number. It would be great to get together sometime in January!
