I'm for Sunday hunting. Why not pass the law cause certain farmers or anti's are against it? Landowners that don't like it can still say no to hunting if thats what they want on their ground. For guys that wait all week to get out on Saturdays, only to have some horrible weather to hunt in and try to get the kid out and involved, only to have a beautiful Sunday following to wish you could get in the woods. I know I've said plenty of times on Sundays, "Man it would be a good day to go hunting today." I don't agree with the animals needing rest, when they rest all spring and summer, and most of the hunting is done only for a few months in fall and early winter. Why is it ok to shoot crows, and fox and coyotes on Sunday?

Today's a great example. With the snow, wind, and cold we're getting today, which is keeping most folks out of the woods, tomorrow would be a good chance to really see some activity with the rut starting. But no, it's Sunday. ttt You can buy booze (sit in a bar), gamble, shop anywhere, but you can't hunt. Is it the "killing" aspect of hunting? Because you can also fish on Sundays, and killing might easily be a part of that sport.

Is there a way to vote for Pa Sunday hunting on line?

When I owned a gun shop in VA we tried to get Sunday hunting passed but no luck
To whom ever it was that thought the deer needed a rest and Sunday would be "that day"...How many more days does it give the season if its passed...not too many... certainly not enough to even place a dent in the herd. Have you EVER heard a game biologist scream...we need to shut down Sundays to save the herd? And who says it won't make a hunter more likely to wait for the size buck he's looking for and maybe not even get to harvest one?
EVERYONE needs to make a call...if you don't want to hunt on Sundays its simple DON'T. PETA would close PA hunters down in a heart beat. Stand united, stand strong and remember all of the groups against hunting will pull the plug on you the first chance they get...make a difference, make the call

PS: I don't live in that state nor have I hunted there in 20 years but I'm with everyone of you

Yes I was
And What I said ,
Is what I mean.

The only way you can support no sunday hunting as a day of rest is for religious reasons and the is illegal. No other way to condone it that way.

bronko is friend of mine.very nice guy .i understand his position BUT ole sproul does not want to see SUNDAY HUNTING.
most i know dont want it also for very different reasons.
most have called to say NO to it.

sproulman

why is it ok to shoot crows,fox, coyotes, because they are WORTHLESS.
predators that kill .

DEER are imperial cow of hunting and we protect them.that is difference.

No animal is worthless,
You protect animals by liimiting their poulation to the environment
That's done via seasons, tags, and limits,
Not by dictating which days those animals can be killed,
Those that are against sunday hunting are generally
Bible thumpers
Dog runners,
And or those with schedules that allow them to hunt m-f, and don't want others killing game on suday that they will be pursuing on monday,

Which do you fall under?

That's what night is for. They have from 6:00pm until 7:00am (13 hours a day, 91 hours a week) to eat and breed in peace. They're more active at night anyway. Especially mature deer.

The facts.

"the state" does not make one dime off of those animals. Pgc funding is pgc funding. Not state funding. "THE STATE" believes they are LOSING money due to those animals effects on forestry and that is where the problem lies. You really should educated yourself a little better.

Really? Thats funny because I don't know ANYONE who thinks pgc has one ounce of credibility, and pgcs "antideer agenda" is well documented.

Resource FIRST. Overharvest also is NOT good for the sport of hunting in Pennsylvania despite what pgc caring about it or not.

I do. As do most others. Yet no reasonable changes occur.

Thats your opinion and nothing more. Mine is that the herd level across this unit, and most of the state for that matter, is below what it should be and could be responsibly, and they are clearly seeking to continue with further reductions despite claims of stabilization.

30+ years of hunting and longer than that living here, and many years closely following pgc follies. And pretty much every other hunter Ive talked to or heard from.

Sure, why dont we do just that!....

Should i start with the 50 + year low statewide buck harvests we have been having? Or should I start with the insanely low buck harvest in 2A the last few years? The buck harvest was getting so pathetic, they lessened our antler restrictions and put us into split season to up the buck harvest to make it look better! lol. Rosenberry also admitted to using rifle season harvest reporting rate "across the board" and for all seasons even though it was a lower rate than archery & ML, and he said it made the figures pgc give HIGHER than actual! That was brought to light this past spring pgc meeting thanks to the cross examination tactics used by commissioner Boop. Made Rosenberry look extremely foolish to have to admit the intentional use of inaccurate data.

Anything else I should take a look at?

Buck harvest in 2010 unit 2a... 5800. What a joke. We were killing more than that on 1/3 of the land mass in one county in the late nineties!

The only areas of the state not being overharvested is the sras. Pgc is a joke and cannot be trusted with more "tools" to devastate our deer herd further. Dcnr has asked for this previously and thats why pgc is jumping on command.
