I visited Potter county and Elk county and talked to the locals, and they have lost money from people not hunting there camps to hunt the opening Monday they remain empty. If you have fished the Salmon river in New York they make all there money when the salmon run in four months for the entire year. No fisherman no money they can not survive. The northern tier is also a tourist driven community thanks to the elk herd , thousands visit every year to watch the elk.
I live in Maryland, and might make the move north in another year or so, but I'm confused at what trespassing and Sunday have to do with each other ? Unless I missed it.. But I enjoy the PA hunting info, should make it a series !
More Sunday hunting is becoming available, most of our farmers are Amish or Mennonite. A lot of the farms that are open to hunt belong to these communities. They observe Sunday as the sabbath , their properties are no longer open to the public to hunt they do not want hunters on their properties on Sunday. In order to pass the Sunday hunting bills the Ag department demanded stronger trespass laws to pass the Sunday hunting bills. So more posted land and if you tear the plastic signs down and say the land is not posted there trees are still pained purple. Those two groups are the dominate property owners in our state.
@@PATG2 That makes more sense, just out of curiousity were these farms considered "public under PA law" or were they just informal agreements, that people started taking advantage of due to being out on the weekends and not repsecting landowner wishes (religious or whatever they wanted) ?
The purple paint law was created so landowners could post there land with paint instead of no trespassing signs.has nothing to do with sunday hunting.private properties i hunted in pass were ones that were posted but i had permission by the landowner to be there. If the landowner doesnt want u there on sundays then they must let u tge guest know that.
Some property owns I have run into informed me that they had posted signs out and the hunters tore them down to hunt on their property illegally. Some things that are irritating are property owners that post past their property line, some times by much as fifty yards. Then we have hunters that post open land and then forge the signature of the property owner, and they know noting about it. The Amish and Mennonite communities have closed their open land due to Sunday hunting . This is where the new trespass laws were created by law makers to add more Sundays to hunt. Its is nice to hunt private property, most of my deer are from public land.
Y'alls laws sound confusing. In my state, purple paint means the same as a "no tresspassing" sign. However, neiither are required for you to be found guilty of tresspassing.

All over deer. Paint the southern border purple and make it a felony.
