Why do you say that? I've hunted with a semi-auto in MD plenty of times. Being able to take a follow-up shot faster and cleaner isn't a bad / "unfair" thing.

The concern in PA is the volume of hunters generally. Close to 1m in the woods is a sizeable risk.

1m? Was does the volume of hunters matter? a .308 round from a bolt action is no different than from a semi-auto.

Except a 308 round is different then 5 of them...

But bolt actions can hold 5 also. Sure the rate of fire will be slower, but you need a target to shoot at. If you have a clean, safe shot, it doesn't matter if you shoot 1 shot per 10 seconds, or 5. You still need to acquire the target, make sure its safe, and make a clean shot.

Just because one rifle can shoot faster doesn't meet you are going to be spraying bullets everywhere in the woods.

You vastly overestimate hunters. Go to a public gun range anytime after 11/1 and let me know how confident you are in that statement

I've been hunting and going to public ranges for 25 years now.

Then you fully understand that a terrifying number of hunters should 5 bullets a year total and have 0 firearm skills

Sure I understand some people are less / under experienced. But I also don't think keeping hunters from using semi-auto or pistols solves anything.
