Deer hunting buck

Harrisburg, Pa. — A bill to restore Pennsylvania’s traditional opening day of statewide firearms deer season to the first Monday after Thanksgiving will soon be introduced.

For more than 50 years, the first Monday after Thanksgiving marked the start of rifle season in Pennsylvania. That long-standing tradition was changed in 2019 when the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) moved the opening day to the Saturday following Thanksgiving, citing the goal of increasing participation and hunting license sales.
