PA has certain antler point requirements.

For antlered license(standard hunting license): must have at least 3 points on one side, except certain hunting districts that require 4 points on one side. I live/hunt in a 3 point area.

Antlerless(applied for at County Treasurer by mail, only some many available(: Doe's and button bucks legal. spikes that have pertruding antler aren't legal because of the point requirement of the antlered license.

For the second year in a row, I have both licenses. So the first two things with legal horns or lack there of are dead via my 45-70 rifle or 45LC pistol.
