North Side Sportsmen's Association

Hunting on NSSA Property

Members are permitted to hunt on our property, subject to the following:

  • All hunters MUST sign in the book located in the Meeting Room BEFORE and AFTER hunting. Name, signature, date, member number, and where on the property you will be hunting are all required information.
  • When parking in areas other than the main lots, put a sheet of paper copy with your access card number clearly visible on the dashboard.
  •  Signing the sheet is accepting the disclaimer written on it. If you can’t sign the sheet, you can’t hunt.
  •  Only current members, spouses, their children and grandchildren under 18 may hunt on NSSA property. NO guests under any circumstances!
  • During the PA Rifle Deer season, only muzzleloaders and shotguns are permitted to be used on NSSA property. Rifles to include those that use straight-wall cartridges are prohibited to be used to hunt deer on NSSA property.
  •  ALL other PA game laws must be obeyed at all times, including start and end times, bag limits, and seasons.
  • No member is permitted to drag downed game out with a vehicle without permission of the NSSA President.
  • Do not hunt near or shoot at the club buildings, ranges, or the roads.
  • Do not hunt downrange of the rifle and pistol ranges.
  • All tree stands must be removed by the next day after the hunt. If you find any tree stands, blinds, game cameras, or other equipment on club property that you believe violates club policies, please report it directly to the Hunting Committee. Do not tamper with any equipment that is not yours.
  • We close all ranges during daylight hours during Saturday – Monday of the first week of deer season for hunting.
  • NSSA has erected Safety Zone signs on the edges of our property 150 yards from our property lines near all occupied buildings. No one may hunt with or discharge a firearm between these signs and our property lines. For archery this distance is 50 yards, but is not marked.
  • There is a ban on hunting with firearms on our property on the east side of Mt. Pleasant Road. This is now an archery hunting zone only.
  • Deer drives are not permitted on the east side of Mount Pleasant Road
  • Failure to obey these rules will lead to disciplinary action by the NSSA Board of Directors, including loss of membership. Game law violations will be turned over to the PA Game Commission.
  • If you observe another member violating any of these rules, please help us by reporting it to the NSSA President.
