Pennsylvania Hunters Celebrate First-Ever sunday Hunting Season
LANCASTER, Pa. – A historic weekend is dawning for Pennsylvania hunters as the state officially lifts its long-standing ban on Sunday hunting. For the first time, enthusiasts will have an additional day to pursue their passion, a change met with widespread excitement within the hunting community.
The shift comes as welcome news for seasoned hunters like Ander Frey, an employee at Southern End Outdoors in Lancaster County, who has been hunting since childhood. ”I’ve been hunting since I was seven, so about a decade now,” Frey shared. “I got my first buck with my dad right behind our house. We have a section of woods we hunt, and I’ve hunted all over the world, but there’s something special about hunting here at home.”
Frey expressed his anticipation for the upcoming deer season, stating, “I’m realy excited to get out there again – I’ve been waiting all year.” The opportunity to hunt on Sundays is particularly significant.”It’s going to be a big opportunity for me to get out more and hopefully get a deer,” he said.
The change is already impacting local businesses. Southern End Outdoors has seen a noticeable increase in sales of hunting equipment. “We’ve definitely seen a lot of hunting packages moving - harnesses, orange safety vests, camo, even scent killer products,” frey noted. Demand for hunting licenses has also surged, with the store experiencing long lines on the first day licenses were available.
Pennsylvania’s decision to allow Sunday hunting aims to provide increased access for hunters and potentially boost the economic impact of the sport.
