With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Josh Shapiro capped an age-old effort in the Pennsylvania General Assembly to end a ban on Sunday hunting.

Josh Shapiro visited the Blue Ridge Sportsman Club in Harrisburg on Wednesday for the historic signing of House Bill 1431, officially repealing the state's more than 300 year Sunday hunting ban. The governor was joined by members of the sporting community as well as members of the legislature who have pushed for the ban for years.

The governor repealed what he called an “outdated” ban on Sunday hunting, saying the change will benefit Pennsylvania’s economy.
