Goog question Pats. I think it's about hunting opportunities for three reasons.

First, the call for Sunday hunting from hunters is getting louder every day

Second, among those that have drifted away from hunting, "lack of time to hunt" has been the overwhelming reason given. With most working folks, opening Sunday up doubles their opportunities for time to hunt. That would likely lead to better license sales overall.

Third, with the exception of SRA's, the PGC is getting the herd reduction they wanted through doe license allocations. Since all but the SRA's sell out, demand still exceeds supply. it's logical to believe that if further herd reduction were the goal, they'd simply sell more doe tags.
