The Pennsylvania Game Commission plans to vote on July 28 regarding a proposal to add 10 Sundays to this year’s hunting seasons, following the recent passage of House Bill 1431, which permits Sunday hunting. Traditionally limited to just three Sundays each fall, the proposed expansion would create a total of 13 Sundays available for hunting activities between September 14 and December 7, 2025.
This proposal is significant as it reflects a shift in hunting policy aimed at accommodating modern sportsmen preferences, as explained by Governor Josh Shapiro during the bill’s signing. The commission emphasizes that any final decision will consider wildlife impacts, ensuring that changes align with conservation goals. The meeting at which this proposal will be discussed begins at 10 a.m. in Harrisburg, setting the stage for potential changes that could affect hunting practices in Pennsylvania.
