HB 741 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in hunting and furtaking, providing for harvesting of certain antlered deer by senior license holders.

HB 741 allows senior hunters (65+ years old with valid licenses) to harvest antlered deer meeting specific size criteria. The bill permits taking deer with at least two points on one antler or a spike antler three inches or longer. This change modifies existing hunting rules under Pennsylvania's Game Code by establishing new, more lenient harvest standards for senior license holders. The bill directly affects eligible senior hunters participating in deer hunting seasons.
