Default RE: PA - group to explore impact of Sunday hunting

Every other kind of business or pastime can be conducted on Sunday. Every port can be played, you can buy booze, strip clubs and adult book stores are open. Why should hunters continue to be the only ones penalized?

Public land? We paid for it it should be accessable to hunters 7 days a week. Hikers, mountain bikers, horse riders all have more to fear from mosquitos than they have from hunters. It's more dangerous to go bowling on Sunday than it is to take a hike where people might also be hunting. ( I kinda like the idea of the yuppie tree huggers putting on drives for us)

I'd bet that landowners would be less disagreeable if more Pennsylvania hunters had more respect for private property in the first place. In most states, you dang well better have permission to tresspass on someones land. Here, we have a prevailing attitude that if it aint posted it must be OK to hunt.

The way things are now, A landowner who doesnt want his land open on Sunday would have to post his property against it, placing the burden on the landowner. The law now says we must have written permission but lax enforcement has allowed the old school attitude to persist.

If more Pa hunters had the respect for private property that I see in other states, I doubt that we would have so many landowners against Sunday hunting
