I totally disagree. Whenever I hunt out west I typically can't even see a house and it is very unusual to see another hunter in a whole week of hunting. Where I hunt in farmland Indiana....not even a flat place, and far from the density where I live....I can see more than a dozen houses and I have at least a dozen hunters within 800 yards of me. There is absolutely no logic in trying to compare the two simply because the terrain is passingly similar. Terrain is not the root of the concern. And little of Pennsylvania looks anything like northern Indiana.
As for "rifle friendly" culture, I love rifles and love hunting with them but that doesn't mean I think they are appropriate to use in every situation, especially when I still see people talking on and on here about how rifle bullets don't travel. Go watch them shoot tracers at night and see what many of those bullets do.
Well we obviously disagree. I lean toward punishing bad behavior, not limiting choices for the vast majority of us who follow the 10 commandments of gun safety. Until the data indicate there is a safety problem where rifles are used, especially in nearby states like Kentucky, then I'm going to remain on the side of allowing choices and punishing bad behavior.
