    It's now law, in PA you can hunt all Sundays during open seasons, with the exception of turkeys and migratory game birds. I've hunted on a couple Sundays that were already open for Sunday hunting before this repeal of the old law, and didn't notice any difference in hunter activity in my area.

    Raised in Ohio during the Blue Laws era. Now, I could never understand that you couldn't hunt on Sunday but you could go to a grocery store, restaurant, Walmart, etc. Our society is now 24/7/365 unless it's a Leap Year.

    By the way, are you going to sign up for the contest again?

    I’m happy they passed this. I just hope the PGC doesn’t get wild and try to charge for a Sunday permit or something. I have a little hesitancy when it comes to believing the PGC doesn’t see this as another opportunity to create another permit.
