If you’ve been following our recent articles about the General Assembly’s repeal of Pennsylvania’s antiquated Sunday hunting prohibition and Governor Shapiro’s decision to sign it into law you would know that the last hurdle was the PGC exercising the new authority in relation to the already existing seasons and regulations.
Fortunately, that wait is over. This past weekend the Board of Game Commissioners met and approved the following Sunday hunting dates for 2025 for all game that would otherwise be in season on those dates, except migratory birds:
- September 14
- September 21
- September 28
- October 5
- October 12
- October 19
- October 26
- November 2
- November 9
- November 16
- November 23
- November 30
- December 7
All of the game seasons will still start and end on the originally planned dates.
The PGC denotes these as the Sunday hunting dates the Board of Commissioners approved for the 2025-26 season, which begs the question – what about the late-December deer and spring turkey seasons?
I wasn’t at the meeting where this was discussed and approved, but I’ve reached out to the Board for a comment and I’ll be looking at the meeting minutes once they become available.
If you or someone you know is interested in speaking to an attorney about a Game Law matter, charged with a Game Code violation, or facing revocation of your hunting license, contact FICG today to discuss your options.
