Default RE: NEWSFLASH: SUNDAY HUNTING IN PA!

No one has any idea why sunday hunting is banned in Pa.I have yet to hear one legitimate reason why it should be.I do know that it has nothing to do with putting added pressure on our deer herd.Where has everyone been the last 5 years?The biggest goal in our deer management plan is to greatly reduce the herd,which according to Alt hasn't been successful.DCNR,the audubon and several other orginizations are supporting sunday hunting for that reason alone.It's an old law that makes no sense and needs to be changed.However,the pgc has nothing to do with getting it done.It's up to the state legislature and it's a very political issue.In order for a stupid law like this to stay on the books,someone should have to prove it's necessary and back up those claims with valid research and documentation.Emotions should never take precedence over common sense but unfortunately thats the case here.

With hunter numbers dwindling,added pressure will not be put on the the animals.
If safety is an issue,how come none of you area afraid to enter the woods when you hunt?Besides,I've yet to see a family taking a stroll in the woods during decenber.The animals already get plenty of rest during the week when everyone is working.
