This record does not carry 2 regulations the state has. The declarations below are the record's own words.
kind: map — description: **The Wildlife Management Unit map, covering roughly a sixth of the page, and this compilation does not carry which county is in which WMU.** Six of the ten deer seasons below are scoped to named WMUs — archery opens Sept. 19 in 2B, 5C and 5D and Oct. 3 everywhere else, and extended firearms closes Jan. 18 in 4A/4C/4D/5A and Jan. 24 in 2B/5C/5D — so **a hunter cannot use these rows without knowing their WMU**, and the county-to-WMU assignment exists only in the map's drawing. The page itself says "See Page 9 for full-size map".
kind: cross-references — description: Antlerless deer require a WMU-specific antlerless licence or permit (DMAP, DMAP-eligible units, Ag Tag), whose allocations, application process and unit quotas are printed on pp.25-31 and are not carried here. The panel states the season; it does not state whether a licence for that unit is still available.

Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.

The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.

That is the direction that ends in a citation, or in a hunter on ground the state has closed. Read the signals below before you use any row on this page.
Derived by rule from this record's own declared gaps, its own integrity fields and its own rows. It is not a score and there is no confidence number: the counts below count signals, nothing more.
overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [obligation='require', limit_or_quota='quota']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation
unknowncannot be determined: the gap carries regulation but its description names neither a restriction nor an opportunity in terms this rule can read (kind='map'). Boundary, map and definition gaps land here and belong here — not knowing which unit you are in cuts both ways
unknown2 page boundary/boundaries beside the cited range were never inspected (2 of them where the UNCITED NEIGHBOUR DRAWS A TABLE). A table that continues past a citation loses whole rows — the missing rows could be further seasons (under) or the restrictions on the ones published (over), and this is the check five states went OFFLINE for skipping.
carries_regulation flag at face value. A gap mis-declared as non-regulatory is a silent miss.Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:
Pennsylvania's Hunting & Trapping Digest 2026-27, p.8 (folio 6), the DEER seasons panel
We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date. This record carries no date on which its publisher issued, adopted, amended or last revised that document, so this page states none. Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.
derived Pennsylvania declares 2 gaps, of which 2 are regulation this compilation does not carry.

Not us. Pennsylvania’s agency publishes the document this record was read from, and that document — not this page — is where the material above has to be chased:
https://www.pa.gov/content/dam/copapwp-pagov/en/pgc/documents/hunttrap/law/pa%20game%20hunttrap%20digest%2026-27.pdf#page=8Where the description above names some other document, register, office or telephone number, that naming is the record’s own and is printed in full above. Nothing here has followed it up for you, and nothing here has re-typed it.

100.0% of coordinate-clustered runs across the whole four-species page, of which the DEER panel is one region
derived: this percentage is over the units named above, on the pages this record cites. It is not a percentage of the state's regulation. The gaps above are what a full percentage would have to count and cannot.
The Booklet is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.
It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.
