It was such a success they\u2019re considering more Sunday hunts in 2021 and the 2020 deer harvest numbers show just how big of a boon the extra days were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hunters Took Advantage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The coronavirus pandemic led to an&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/more-americans-hunting-through-coronavirus-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-sunday-hunting-huge-deer-harvest-pennsylvania\" title=\"Sunday Hunting Means Huge Deer Harvest in Pennsylvania\">unprecedented<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/a-renaissance-for-americas-greatest-outdoor-pastime\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-sunday-hunting-huge-deer-harvest-pennsylvania\" title=\"Sunday Hunting Means Huge Deer Harvest in Pennsylvania\">renaissance<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;for hunters in 2020 heading out to fields and woods for some natural social distancing. In Pennsylvania, that included an experiment for three extra days of big-game hunting on November Sundays. Pennsylvania hunters didn\u2019t miss their shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis year\u2019s Sunday hunting opportunities were extremely popular with our hunters, and they did not see any substantial issues occur on these Sundays,\u201d explained Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Bryan Burhans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just how \u201cextremely popular\u201d were the extra Sundays outdoors? The 2020 deer season harvest numbers were released and they\u2019re big. Really big. Almost 400,000 big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Pennsylvania was one of only&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huntingdondailynews.com\/daily_herald\/news\/how-pennsylvanias-deer-harvest-compares\/article_50253412-edee-5e34-a4ff-d405977b1caf.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-sunday-hunting-huge-deer-harvest-pennsylvania\" title=\"Sunday Hunting Means Huge Deer Harvest in Pennsylvania\">three<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;states that harvested more than 300,000 deer and Keystone State hunters blew past that mark by nearly 90,000. When Burhans submitted the PGC annual report to the state\u2019s General Assembly recently, it showed Pennsylvania hunters took advantage of the extra days and they bagged more than&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/triblive.com\/news\/pennsylvania\/pa-game-commission-says-game-law-violations-dip-slightly\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-sunday-hunting-huge-deer-harvest-pennsylvania\" title=\"Sunday Hunting Means Huge Deer Harvest in Pennsylvania\">389,000<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;white-tailed deer. Even with the significant increase in those heading out to the woods and fields, Pennsylvania hunters did so responsibly, receiving&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/triblive.com\/news\/pennsylvania\/pa-game-commission-says-game-law-violations-dip-slightly\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-sunday-hunting-huge-deer-harvest-pennsylvania\" title=\"Sunday Hunting Means Huge Deer Harvest in Pennsylvania\">fewer<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;wildlife game violations than all of last year. Burhans praised Pennsylvania hunters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis report also notes that Pennsylvania was second in the nation for antlered deer harvested per square mile, and first in the nation in overall deer harvested per square mile,\u201d Burhans said. \u201cThese numbers are a testament to the hunting culture and traditions in our state that remain alive and well, as well as the health and productivity of our deer herd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening Day Anticipation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With a healthy deer population waiting and a growing population of hunters continuing or beginning to participate in the great American hunting pastime, 2021\u2019s season is right around the corner.

This change was implemented in 2020 and was met with great enthusiasm\u2026,\u201d Burhans said. \u201cThe Game Commission supports opening additional Sundays to hunting and welcomes the opportunity to work with this Committee to craft legislation giving full authority to the Board of Commissioners to offer additional Sunday hunting opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hunting Pays<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>More Sunday hunting is good news for Pennsylvania\u2019s hunters and for the Pennsylvania economy.

If there were any doubt as to the popularity of hunting remaining high in Pennsylvania leading into next season, PGC Commissioner Travis Lau confirmed the welcomed trend,&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/triblive.com\/news\/pennsylvania\/pa-game-commission-says-game-law-violations-dip-slightly\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-sunday-hunting-huge-deer-harvest-pennsylvania\" title=\"Sunday Hunting Means Huge Deer Harvest in Pennsylvania\">saying<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cSales so far in 2020-21 have exceeded totals for 2019-20.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year saw a boost to hunting activities in all corners of the country, including hunters of all&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/huntinglife.com\/nssf-and-usa-mentor-reward-program-reaches-1000-novice-hunters-and-shooters\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-sunday-hunting-huge-deer-harvest-pennsylvania\" title=\"Sunday Hunting Means Huge Deer Harvest in Pennsylvania\">ages<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/more-americans-hunting-through-coronavirus-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-sunday-hunting-huge-deer-harvest-pennsylvania\" title=\"Sunday Hunting Means Huge Deer Harvest in Pennsylvania\">demographics<\/a>.<\/strong>&nbsp;The&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/millions-of-new-hunters-are-on-the-way-say-hunting-and-conservation-groups\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-sunday-hunting-huge-deer-harvest-pennsylvania\" title=\"Sunday Hunting Means Huge Deer Harvest in Pennsylvania\">rise<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;in numbers is a great sign for conservation and wildlife management, including in Pennsylvania. Monies collected from the purchase of hunting licenses and fees, and excise taxes paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers supplying hunters with needed equipment, contribute to wildlife management and conservation project funding through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR). In 2020, that total was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fws.gov\/news\/ShowNews.cfm?ref=$1-billion-sent-to-state-wildlife-agencies-bolstering-conservation-&amp;_ID=36849\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-sunday-hunting-huge-deer-harvest-pennsylvania\" title=\"Sunday Hunting Means Huge Deer Harvest in Pennsylvania\"><strong>$1<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>billion<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong>&nbsp;$121 million above the 2019 total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pennsylvania hunters will no doubt keep their eyes peeled for what the Pennsylvania House Fisheries and Game Committee determines for next year\u2019s hunting calendar, but all signs point to more Sunday hunting.
