I'd like to see Sunday hunting implemented this season starting with both spring and fall turkey, bear, and small game, and leave the deer alone on Sundays this season until anterless allocations can be adjusted(if that is possible with the current PGC mindset) accordingly for next years deer season.
Manyspurs do game wardens currently get sundays off? If so they shouldnt because poachers dont take sundays off.
Game wardens in OH. did not object to having to work on sundays when sunday hunting was passed, If PGC. WCO's dont want to work on sundays
like many in the private sector then they are free to find another job. Pike
Where did you get the idea that Pennsylvania Game Wardens don’t work on Sundays.
We work any days of the week that are needed in order to do a reasonably effective job of protecting the resources. We do normally get two days off and most of us take our days off to fit the needs of our district for the time of the year and seasons.
I am sure if we have Sunday hunting, in the future, a high percentage of the WCOs will be working on those higher production days. Most of us already work a fair number of Sundays now.
Most of us would not only be willing but happy to work even more hours of the day and days of the week if the hunters are willing to pay for it. Most of us already donate a lot of free time to keep poachers at bay and not only the poachers but many hunters just complain about it when we do catch them. If protecting the resources don’t mean enough to the hunters to respect it, let alone pay for it why should it mean that much to the WCOs that they would do more of it for free and then get bashed for doing it?
