Yeah, Pennsylvania really needs to get there heads out of their you know whats. I lived in PA for awhile and now I am in Ohio (although only about 6 miles from the PA line as the crow flies). I would easily spend some of my hunting dollars in PA EXCEPT there is no Sunday hunting. They are not getting any of my money until they change.

I remember well when the law changed in Ohio. They were so worried about what the farmers/hikers/backpackers/etc would say. It was a non-issue. Seamless. It's a beautiful thing. I don't understand what the gripe is with nonhunters. I used to backpack A LOT in Pennsylvania (mostly solo and I am a woman too). I never ever minded sharing the woods with hunters. The only two weeks I would stay out of the woods were the two weeks of gun season. the other 50 weeks of the year were no problem. How is running into bowhunters and squirrel hunters a problem? I don't get it?
