Default RE: Sunday hunting?

Hey Joe D -

Are you asking this question because the weather on Saturday was crappy and Sunday was a beautiful day? As we were driving home from Sullivan County yesterday I was thinking " it sure would be a nice day to go hunting" .
Remember, you can hunt foxes crows and coyotes on Sundays with a gun. It' s not the noise. According to a couple of game wardens I asked, it has to do with land owners. A lot of land that is open to hunting is privately owned. These people allow hunters but they don' t have to. The game commission is giving them a break from people being on their land on Sundays. They feel that, if they allowed Sunday hunting, a lot of these land owners may post their land. As for crows - PA wanted them to be hunted all year but they are considered migratory. Since they are migratory, they can only be hunted so many days a year. The game commission figured out that 3 days a week would work out and they chose weekend days so more people could participate. I think coyotes are considered pest so you can hunt them all the time. As for foxes, I' m not sure about that one.

At least that' s the story I heard.
