Bill > HB70

This bill amends the Pennsylvania game regulations by changing the start date of the regular antlered deer hunting season. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to mandate that the antlered deer hunting season will now open on the first Monday following Thanksgiving, rather than on a previously established date. This change provides a more consistent and predictable hunting season start time for hunters in Pennsylvania. The new regulation will take effect 60 days after the bill is enacted, giving wildlife management agencies and hunters time to prepare for and communicate the updated hunting season schedule. By setting the start date in relation to a holiday, the bill creates a clear and easy-to-remember timing for the beginning of the deer hunting season.
