A Lancaster County man faced questioning by Philadelphia police after they found him dressed in camouflage in a tree stand just off of 1-95 near the airport, armed with a bow and arrow and waiting for passing deer.
Tuesday's doe season got off to an interesting start when a man reportedly decided to pull his vehicle off to the side of I-95 near Island Avenue and begin hunting from a tree stand in the woods there.
Philadelphia police spokesperson captain Benjamin Naish.:
"You are allowed to do bow and arrow hunting within the city if you have the proper license and you have the permission of the owner of the private property you are hunting on. There are probably not a lot of places within the city where that can give a person proper authority to do the bow hunting."
It is still not known whether this man had permission to be there. Pennsylvania Game Commission sources also say hunters need to be at least forty feet away from a residential area.
