After more than 50 years of having the first day of deer rifle season start the Monday after Thanksgiving, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has changed it to Saturday after the holiday.
The commission gave final approval of the change on Tuesday.
The first day of the 2019 rifle deer season will be Nov. 30.
Rifle season for hunting deer in the state has started the Monday after Thanksgiving since 1963. Supporters of the change believe a Saturday opener could increase interest in hunting.
