Resolution would urge Pennsylvania landowners to allow lawful deer hunting

The House would urge municipalities to allow lawful public hunting on suitable land. The request covers suitable municipal land throughout Pennsylvania and use of existing Pennsylvania Game Commission deer control programs and permits. The request applies where hunting is safe and appropriate. The resolution would encourage participation without requiring municipalities to open their land.

The House would encourage private landowners to support lawful deer management. The request covers Pennsylvania farmers, other eligible landowners, residents, and private property owners. Landowners would still need to qualify for the programs they use. Hunting access would be encouraged where appropriate, and participation would remain voluntary.
