Are Stone points legal
Pat B:
When I called the NC DNR about the definition of a barbed point the head law enforcement guy told me it can't look like a fish hook. I told him none of my broadheads looked like fish hooks he told me to ask the DNR officer that would be writing the ticket to explain it.
Lumberman:
Oooh I get goose bumps just thinking about getting a game warden mad at me, even if the law was technically on my side. That's scary. If he doesn't bust you for that when faced with the writing he could end hunting in Ohio for ya.. Maybe if you could bring him cookies and jerky and the writing from the DNR and see if he finds it agreeable and respectful
JW_Halverson:
Wouldn't hurt to have a few examples of your arrows, too. Just so he can see that you are serious about doing the job right! I have had two C.O.'s that I will not name that have seen arrowheads I have from various knappers in here. Both say that if they checked me in the woods and I was carrying these, they would pretend they hadn't seen them. BOTH said they'd ticket someone using tourist trap buck apiece rocks (apparently there was a problem with that about 20 years ago with a couple guys and the GF&P Commission pushed thru anti stone legislation).
Whatever you do, be upfront about it. These guys hear every brand of B.S. ever made. And on a daily basis. No sense pegging the needle on their B.S. meter, right?
Will Tell:
Thr rule in Penna. says legal broadheads with a outside diameter or width of 7/8 of an inch with at least two cutting edges located on the same plane throughout the length of the cutting surface and may not exceed 3.25 inches in lengtth.
Sounds awful confusing. One warden told me they were not legal and another told me they were legal. I guess a judge will have to figure it out if I'm busted.lol doesn't say anything about small game.
Outbackbob48:
Will Tell, the rule in Pa. says on page 32 A broadhead is a fixed or mechanical tip affixed to the fore end of an arrow or bolt having a sharpened cutting edges consisting of metal or naturally occurring stone. The broadhead must have a outside dia. or width of at least 7/8" , and the length of the cutting surface may not exceed3-1/4" in length. Pa. hunting Digest. Your warden better brush up on the regs.
