To whom it may concern,

Pennsylvania Senate Bill #147 proposes the removal of the prohibition on Sunday hunting and establishes stricter trespassing laws and enforcement.

Generally, when a bill is entertained it involves research in regards to what is occurring in the states surrounding Pennsylvania.  To our knowledge, this research has not been conducted.  Hunters United for Sunday Hunting Farmers Chapter; United Bowhunters of Pennsylvania; Safari Club International has completed the research with the following synopsis.

All states surrounding Pennsylvania and those state farm bureau chapters support the ability to participate in wildlife management/conservation, stiff trespass laws, and support that politicians and lawmakers need not be involved in wildlife management/conservation.

The surrounding state farm bureaus of OH, NY, NJ, MD, DE [five of six] support the ability of hunters and farmers to participate in wildlife management/conservation seven days a week including Sundays during seasons established by the respective state’s Department of Natural Resources/Conservation/Wildlife or state agency equivalent of the Pennsylvania Game Commission.  All surrounding farm bureaus OH, NY, NJ, MD, DE, WV [six of six] support stricter trespassing laws and enforcement.

Hunters United for Sunday Hunting is asking for your support of Pennsylvania Senate Bill #147 which allows the removal of the prohibition on Sunday hunting in PA Title 34 Game Law, provides stronger trespass laws and allows the Pennsylvania Game Commission the ability to regulate the participation of wildlife management and conservation seven days a week including Sundays during established game and furbearer seasons.  This is what is done in the six states surrounding Pennsylvania and agreed-upon by five out of the six state farm bureau chapters surrounding this great state of Pennsylvania.
