Pennsylvania Game Commission Reminds Hunters of Expanded Sunday Hunting Opportunities

Pennsylvania hunters are gearing up for an extended period of Sunday hunting, a rare opportunity in the state. Thanks to a state law passed in 2019, Sunday hunting is permitted for three consecutive weekends in mid-November and early December[4].

Starting this Sunday, hunters will have the chance to hunt in-season game, including deer and bear, using archery equipment. This temporary expansion aims to provide more opportunities for hunters to engage in their sport[3][5].

The Pennsylvania Game Commission has issued a reminder to hunters about these special Sundays, emphasizing the importance of adhering to all relevant regulations and ensuring that only in-season game is targeted. This includes deer and bear, which are currently in season[1][5].

This expansion is part of ongoing efforts to balance hunting opportunities with conservation goals. Hunters are advised to check the specific game management areas and ensure they comply with all rules and regulations during these special hunting days[3][4].
