The first place you'll see it implemented is with Spring Gobbler. Mark my words right now, spring gobbler.

My buddy Ray Smith, former owner of River Valley Game Calls, now the National Director for the NWTF speaks in front of the PGC often. His one speech was on Sunday hunting and afterwards several PGC higer ups as well as our state Reps asked Ray for a copy of his speech. They couldn't agree more than to allow Sunday hunting for at least spring gobblers. He included, "why on earth would an out of state hunter by a PA nonresident license to hunt turkeys in this state when all he can hunt is Saturday and only to noon. At least Sunday would afford the guy a second day and perhaps non resident sales would increase".

Of course, revenue for the PGC was/is a major concern.

The one major reason that law (no Sunday hunting) has been enforced is farmers DO NOT want Sunday hunting. They claim the deer need a day of rest from being pushed to death, as anyone that hunts PA knows. Many picketed the possible allowance claiming they will close their farms to hunting all together if Sunday hunting was allowed. Farmers and anti's won and Sunday hunting is still not allowed.

Ray's claim, why punish thousands upon thousand of public land hunters because some farmers don't want hunting on their lands. If these farmers don't want Sunday hunting they can tell their permission that NO Sunday hunting. They can regulate their own land to their needs.

They claim they need a day that no guns are being fired. BS, the rifle season is 2 weeks long, that's 2 Sundays. It's a big joke.

But again, you watch, turkeys first to open the door.
