A bill that will end Pennsylvania’s ban Sunday hunting passed the state legislature this week and is headed to Gov. Wolf for signature.
The measure, SB 147, passed the House without a single “no” vote last month while the Senate gave a 38-11 concurrence to the bill this week. The move would legalize hunting on at least three Sundays throughout the year — which is three more than what the Commonwealth has currently.

The same could be said for many young people, the ones who represent the future of the sport. Lifting the ban will give them increased opportunities to pursue the activity that they love.”
The bill, supported by the Pennsylvania Game Commission, mandates the three Sundays to include one day during deer rifle season, one day during deer archery season and another day
