Pennsylvania lifts ban on Sunday hunting to boost hunter numbers and aid conservation.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed a bill on July 9, 2025, to repeal the state's long-standing ban on Sunday hunting. The law, which takes effect on September 7, allows the Pennsylvania Game Commission to designate Sundays for hunting activities, aiming to boost hunter numbers and support wildlife conservation efforts. The repeal is expected to benefit local economies and introduce younger generations to hunting.
