that's easy: as long as they are going on state ground fine but when they head out to private land the PGC feels it is enough to ask landowners to put up with 6 days a week of people using their land already.

Just what do you think Alt's AR / HR plan has done ? It has created a whole new generation of hunters that want to protect the doe so they have a better chance of harvesting a 2.5+ buck. Instead of elevating the status of harvesting a doe as Alt claimed he would do ,he elevated the status of harvesting a 2.5 buck and made a doe the consolation prize for those that hunt the SGL's and 2 G.

Sieg, Lets start from the top:
Food Plots - You don't have to scount, just park your butt in you heated treestand and shoot away.
Inlines - To much time and possible misfire with flintlock. To much trouble.
ATV's - Just look at the guys riding them. McDonalds best customers.
Semi autos - For those who can hit the barn with their butt against the door. Can you imagine how many unaimed shots they could get off. To populated.
Sundays - If you can't find them during the week, you sure would find them on Sundays.
Buck & Doe - Hey, if you can hit a buck, at least you can go home with meat.
I agree Sieg. Many HUNTERS in Pa. are to lazy to do what is necessary to harvest a nice deer. Why scout, cut lanes, sight your rifle in for just a couple of days hunting. Just ride your atv up to your tree at 9:00, cough, smoke and down a box of twinkies then head out so you can make breakfast at McDonalds before they set up for lunch.[:@]

That way we can hunt on Sunday, and landowners that don't want Sunday hunting can tell the hunters that they don't want people hunting on their land on Sundays.
Sunday hunting should be legal.

I don't get the ATV arguement. I have one, and I ride it I have also ridden it to a hunting spot or two. But for the most part I hunt SGL where you can't take them, period! If it's your land your hunting you can limit or forbid an ATV's use. If your on SGL noone can ride them. So where are you hunting that it gets your panties in such a bunch? Someone elses land that they gave you permission to hunt and they allow ATV's and you don't have one so you slam those that do? Get permission to hunt somewhere else!
And as for your Mcdonalds best customer remark...I say bwaa ha haaaa your barking up the wrong tree here, Pal.

Old ways die because of majority rule. If the majority want things to change, they will. Old ways are useless when the old people who thought them up are no longer in it, and the new participants want it a different way. Simply the way it works in the real world. 200 years ago there was ONLY flintlock, cuz that's all there were. Those guys didn't even hunt for the fun of it. They would have said; "Hunt for fun! What the hells that?". Same as, " Run for fun! Never heard of such a thing!"

If thats easy, heres an easy solution. THe landowner can say to hunters "Don't hunt here on Sunday"
That way we can hunt on Sunday, and landowners that don't want Sunday hunting can tell the hunters that they don't want people hunting on their land on Sundays.
Sunday hunting should be legal.

Southern part of the county, trespassers on private land gave the land owner a hard time.
Said that next year their land will now be posted for all hunters.
No matter what the law,
No matter who owns the land,
No matter what day it is,
Some Hunters will do what ever they want, when ever they want, where ever they want.
This kind of attitude gives all us hunters a bad name.
