FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HUNTERS UNITED FOR SUNDAY HUNTING SUPPORTS THE PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION CHANGES AND UPDATES TO THE LICENSE YEAR 2018-19 HUNTING AND TRAPPING SEASONS.
PA GAME COMMISSION 2018-19 SEASON CHANGES, UPDATES, AND APPROVAL CAN BE VIEWED AT:
Halifax, Pa. July 5, 2018 – Hunters United for Sunday Hunting recognizes and supports the Pa. Game Commission in their wildlife management efforts. Their science and biological-based wildlife management programs have proven effective year after year earning a second place ranking in the nation as written in the journal Science Advance. https://www.facebook.com/PennsylvaniaGameCommission/posts/1819133508118533
Pa. Game Commission modifications approved for the 2018-19 seasons include: extending the statewide archery deer season to Monday, Nov. 12 to include the Veterans Day holiday; eliminating the hen pheasant restriction in WMUs 2A, 2C, 4C, and 5B; implementing a new four-day extended black bear firearms season in WMUs 4A and 5A; increasing from four days to six days the length of the extended black bear firearms season in WMU 3A; extending hunting hours for mourning doves from one-half hour before sunrise until sunset in all season segments; and opening WMUs 4B and 4C to fisher trapping.
The Pa. Game Commission has been managing Pennsylvania's wildlife for over 100 years.
Hunters United for Sunday Hunting asks:
- All hunters, sportsmen, sportswomen, outdoor enthusiasts, conservationist and all other like-minded people to trust the PGC as the subject matter experts and to understand without them, we would not be able to enjoy nature and our sport as we know it.
- Pa. legislatures to recognize and understand that you as lawmakers have no experience or expertise in the arena of wildlife management, non-hunted or hunted species. We encourage you to support legislative action to transfer full regulatory control to Pa. Game Commission and strengthen PA Title 34 Game Law. Streamlining of the law puts full management and conservation in the hands of the experts - Pa. Game Commission. The transfer of full regulatory control to Pa. Game Commission is the best solution for game management in Pa.
Hunters United for Sunday Hunting is asking for the removal of the prohibition of Sunday hunting in PA Title 34 Game Law and allow the Pennsylvania Game Commission to decide what is best for Sunday hunting, not the Pa. legislatures.
Hunters United for Sunday Hunting is a conservation group that supports all conservation efforts for all wildlife in Pennsylvania, both hunted and non-hunted species.
Mission Statement - Remove the prohibition of Sunday hunting in PA Title 34 Game Law through education, and influence legislatures to change the law accordingly.

Sunday hunting will help more young people time to hunt too.We need more involvement of our younger generation to support your sport.
ReplyDeleteWe need the other half of the weekend to save our sport. With only Saturdays available for the weekend warrior, participation rates could double with Sundays availble to hunt.
ReplyDeleteI see more revenue and more opportunities for mentoring, it seems to me that the only ones that dont agree are the ones that dont hunt or contribute. If all other states can do it safely without any issues I dont see the problem with us doing it
