Pennsylvania Ends Sunday Hunting Ban, Adds New Rules

News summary

Pennsylvania has officially repealed its centuries-old ban on Sunday hunting, with Governor Josh Shapiro signing House Bill 1431 into law. The new legislation grants the Pennsylvania Game Commission authority to set Sunday hunting dates, strengthens trespassing penalties, and clarifies rules on the use of deer urine attractants, while dropping a proposed disease testing requirement. Written permission remains required for hunting on private land. Supporters expect increased hunting opportunities, economic benefits, and greater license revenue, though some outdoor recreation groups have raised concerns about forest use and safety on Sundays. The Game Commission is set to review options for additional Sunday hunting days, taking public input into account. The changes will be implemented in time for the upcoming hunting season.
