Education series: why this mission is important, why the law needs to be deconflicted, and what it would mean to people.
Education Series 8 of……
§ 2303. Hunting on Sunday prohibited
Many people do not understand or have the time to read what is in PA Title 34 Game Law.
So let's examine the law as it pertains to wildlife management and the issue of removing the barrier to hunting opportunities in Pa.
Hence the issue and problem. The law provides all this guidance, authority, regulations, etc. but then you get to page 53 and it reads Hunting on Sunday prohibited. But there are exceptions. Why? These exceptions are wildlife management with the act of hunting on Sunday.
There is only one way to translate this - the legislature trusts the PGC, but they don’t???
This is why our mission is: Remove the prohibition of Sunday hunting in PA Title 34 Game Law through education, and influence legislatures to change the law accordingly.
Solves the problem completely without exception after exception, species after species.
