- DelawarePermitted
Delaware allows Sunday hunting: HB 278 (signed June 10, 2026) repealed its remaining Sunday-hunting restrictions, so all legal game animals and game birds may be hunted on Sundays during established seasons — permission is required on private land. Private landowners and public agencies retain discretion over access to their lands.

- PennsylvaniaConditional
Pennsylvania's longstanding Sunday hunting ban was repealed (Act 36 of 2025, signed July 9, 2025) — the Game Commission now sets Sunday opportunities, approved Sundays within established seasons are open to any in-season game except migratory game birds, and state parks limit Sunday hunting to designated dates. State forests allow all PGC-approved Sundays.
