Bill > SB391

This bill modifies the Pennsylvania game regulations by changing the start date of the regular antlered deer hunting season. Specifically, the bill amends Section 2102 of Title 34 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to mandate that the regular antlered deer hunting season will now open on the first Monday following Thanksgiving, instead of the previous unspecified date. This change provides hunters with a more precise and consistent timeframe for the start of deer hunting season. The bill will go into effect 60 days after its passage, giving wildlife management agencies and hunters time to prepare for and adapt to the new hunting season start date. By setting a clear, predictable opening day tied to the Thanksgiving holiday, the bill aims to create more clarity and potentially improve hunting practices in Pennsylvania.
