Sunday Hunting - Still in the Crosshairs

Sunday hunting remains a heated and divisive issue among sportsmen in Pennsylvania.

Some oppose it for religious and safety reasons, and because they believe it will hurt wildlife and game populations. Others view it as another opportunity to hunt without taking a day off from work or school and a way to attract hunters and increase tourism and economic development in Pennsylvania.

Sunday Hunting Survey

Earlier this year, the Pennsylvania Game Commission approved a resolution calling for the end of the prohibition on Sunday hunting. However, under current Pennsylvania law, the Legislature, not the Game Commission, has the authority to make policy regarding Sunday hunting. The current prohibition on Sunday hunting is the only game management decision given to the General Assembly.

The legislature is currently conducting hearings on House Bill 1760, which would allow Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania. I'd like to hear your opinion! Should Sunday hunting be allowed?
