I don't know about PA but in Florida access is restricted to state hunting
preserves (called WMAs) during hunting season. I have not done any hunting
down here but I think you have to sign in when entering the land during the
hunting seasons. As some one pointed out these lands are paid for by the
hunters and so they get first demand on them.
