RE: No Hunting on Sunday in PA.....Why?

The thing I get a kick out of is not allowing hunting on Sunday even on State Game Lands.........guess what paid for that Game Land? It wasn't a Mountain Biking License, or a Birdwatching license that's for sure.
We paid for that land and we can't use it.

Yep, that's a real kick in the pants.

Heard a Harrisburg lobbyist who follows sportsmens issues explain why those 6 GOP members of the G&F Committee voted against even allowing a study to take place...

Quote:

Their comments made in the committee meeting were that their districts were primarily made up of farmers, particularly Amish and others of strong Christian values, who were adamantly opposed to Sunday hunting. They felt that regardless what a study would find, they would still be opposed to Sunday hunting.

Should make PETA and HSUS folks real happy, that we have so many members of the G&F Committee agreeing that religious/moral values constitute legitimate reasons for banning hunting.

Matt - I'm glad you said that. I definately think the outdoors are for everyone to enjoy, although in my area it drives me nuts to have entire families walking around yelling and playing when I'm on State "GAME" Lands that license buying hunters paid for. In my particular area (Nockimixon) there is the State Park on the south side of the road they could be using and stay out of the area that is loaded down with the orange army. Children enjoying the woods and wildlife is the only way we are going to have a future for hunting, but kids walking in the "hunting" woods without any orange on is not safe and it doesn't teach respect for those that are hunting.
