    § 11.215. Weapons and hunting.

    The following activities are prohibited without written permission of the
    Department:
    (1) Hunting, pursuing or intentionally disturbing woodchucks, also known as
    groundhogs. Paragraph (2) does not apply to this activity.
    (2) Hunting, pursuing or intentionally disturbing wildlife unless:
    (i) The person engaging in the activity is licensed by the Game Commission to
    hunt and is engaged in hunting in accordance with the Game and Wildlife Code.
    (ii) The activity takes place in an area designated by the Department for
    hunting. At Presque Isle State Park, waterfowl hunting may take place only from
    a facility designated by the Department as a waterfowl blind, and shooting shall
    be directed away from State park land and over the adjacent waters.
    (iii) The activity takes place during hunting season as established by the Game
    Commission.
    (iv) The firearm, archery equipment or other device used for this activity is
    lawful for hunting under the Game and Wildlife Code. A device operated by air,
    chemical or gas cylinder by which a projectile can be discharged or propelled is
    not lawful for hunting under the Game and Wildlife Code.
    (3) Using a device, including a firearm, archery equipment or slingshot, that is
    capable of discharging or propelling a projectile, except as provided in paragraph
    (2) or (7).
    (4) Possessing an uncased device, or uncasing a device, including a firearm,
    archery equipment or slingshot, that is capable of discharging or propelling a
    projectile, except as provided in paragraph (2) or (7), or except in the owner's
    building on a leased campsite, in the owner's residence, or in the owner's vehicle
    or trailer.
    (5) Failing to keep a device, including a firearm, archery equipment or
    slingshot, that is capable of discharging or propelling a projectile, in the owner's
    building on a leased campsite, in the owner's residence or in the owner's vehicle
    or trailer. This prohibition does not apply to either of the following:
    15
    (i) A person licensed by the Game Commission to hunt, and in possession of a
    device that is lawful for hunting under the Game and Wildlife Code, during
    hunting season as established by the Game Commission, in a State park open for
    hunting.
    (ii) A person engaged in target-shooting under paragraph (7).
    (6) The trapping of wildlife. This prohibition does not apply to a person
    licensed by the Game Commission to engage in trapping, during trapping season
    as established by the Game Commission, in an area designated by the Department
    for hunting.
    (7) Target-shooting with a device, including a firearm, archery equipment or
    slingshot, capable of discharging or propelling a projectile, except in an area
    designated by the Department for this purpose and in accordance with posted
    requirements and restrictions.
    (8) Dog training, except from the day following Labor Day through March 31,
    in an area designated by the Department for hunting.
    Emphasis mine.

    State and Natl Forests seem OK for OC, but only with a PA permit.

    State/National Forests:
    YES
