Default RE: NEWSFLASH: SUNDAY HUNTING IN PA!

ROFLOL. Come on Pat, admit it, there's no legitimate reason that game managers shouldn't set seasons and bag limits seven days a week. You're in denial of all the evidence from all those 40 or so states that have tried it. Facts Pat, not emotionalism, exageration and rhetorical fallacies. Scientific game management by game managers, seven days a week works. Inclusion, not exclusion. We don't have 1 million hunters in the woods on any day and we'll never have 2 million. Our numbers are already something like 20% or so off the peak years. Even in firearms deer season there's only 2-3 days when the majority of those hunters are in the woods and they are almost empty on those other days. The numbers of hunters for squirrels and other small game are down by almost 70% from our peak years and harvest data per day for almost every small game species remains steady.

Facts Pat. Scientific game management by game managers works, seven days a week.

There is no evidence to support any of your concerns. There is no legitimate reason this outdated law should still be on the books. There is no justification for treating hunters as second class citizens one day a week.
