Opening day of Pennsylvania’s statewide firearms deer season is not, officially, a state holiday. Never has been.
But you could be excused for thinking otherwise.
The busiest single day on the hunting calendar by far, it annually causes about half a million people to do whatever they can to get into the woods.
What else would you expect in a state where deer hunting has such a long-standing and strong culture?
The National Deer Association (NDA) regularly ranks Pennsylvania tops in the country for hunter density. It says there were 14.4 hunters per square mile here in 2021, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Only three other states – New York (12), Wisconsin (11.4) and New Jersey (10.5) – hit double digits.
Expect similar crowds this year. The season starts on Saturday, Nov. 25, continues on Sunday, Nov. 26, then runs through Saturday, Dec. 9, excluding only Sunday, Dec. 3. Hunters will be out in force throughout.
