HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania could generate up to $804 million in economic activity by allowing Sunday hunting, according to a bipartisan legislative study released today.

The Legislative Budget and Finance Committee report says Sunday hunting could support nearly 7,500 jobs and bring in almost $57 million in state and local taxes.

Allowing hunting on all Sundays during hunting season would produce about $460 million in retail sales, according to the company that produced the estimates, Southwick Associates.

Hunting is worth nearly $3 billion to the state’s economy, with deer hunting accounting for about $1.7 billion of it, the report found.

Those expenditures include trip-related services such as lodging, airfare and guide fees; firearms, camping gear, boats and other equipment; licenses; books; dues; and land purchases or rentals.

About 950,000 general hunting licenses were sold in Pennsylvania during the 2009-10 fiscal year. Pennsylvania deer hunters spend about $96 a day when they are hunting.

The report is an update of a similar study done six years ago.
