RE: Sunday hunting?
In response to Adams, I would definitely take hunting on Sundays over a longer season. It still would allow people to enjoy something they love to do. No matter how long the season, most people can only make it out on Saturdays. The whole rushing home and getting in a stand with an hour left of legal hunting is more of a hastle than a joy of hunting.

RE: Sunday hunting?
here in MD. they opened up 2 sundays for hunting but it is in the counties that need it the least the central counties that need it the most have the most antis and the most opposition to it. I think Governor Ehrlich has stolen a page from the antis and gotten a toe hold . Gota start somewhere i guess

RE: Sunday hunting?
That' s a good link, Ruffed-Grouse. I especially like this point:
45 % of all hunters in PA own rural property and this law keeps them from using that property only because of what day of the week it happens to be.
If you bought a license and bought the land, what' s the deal? You could post it and you would be the only one out there. That would certainly reduce hunter/non-hunter conflicts.

RE: Sunday hunting?
Time to write a few e-mails if you get a chance. Sounds like the issue is finally heating up again and more letters are needed so it doesn' t get ignored again.
e-mail Addresses for the G&F Committee are now easily available and sounds like the Committee recently passed over an Amendment and Bill that would have finally brought PA up to date with NY, OH, and 40 or so other states that treat hunters fairly and treat Sundays just like every other day of the week, without even asking for input from Sportsmen.
Even if you don' t live in the State, do fellow hunters a favor and at least drop a line to the two chairmen to tell em how PA is at the bottom of your list for ever buying a NR License or spending your tourist dollars since PA cuts your available time to hunt in half while 40 some other states are begging for those dollars and treat hunters just as fairly as everyone else.
