Well that sucks. The law man here takes private property and trespassing very seriously here. I like to think the sportsmen and women do as well. Respect for landowners goes a long way.

I couldn’t agree more Deleware Rob. But, for whatever reason, not the least of which is the lack of any teeth in trespassing regulations, far too many Pennsylvania hunters don’t respect landowners and their property. A common theme seems to be, “If it’s not posted it’s open to hunting” without even so much as asking the landowner for permisssion.
Eh...wot?

Deer hunting used to be a very tradition oriented event in the northern counties of PA .Like other have said people would start to arrive at the camps after the Thanksgiving holiday and many would remain there for 7 to 10 days .The traditions are dead or fading fast . And if they weren’t, this move by the PGC has killed them. It is the final nail in the coffin of the traditional Pennsylvania Buck Camp.
Eh...wot?

Had a PGC worker stop in the office the other day to get parts. He agreed this won’t generate more hunters, and the Sunday thing is another joke, what ground isn’t posted soon will be. If you don’t have time to spend with your kids now, extra days won’t help. Just my .02.
My heart belongs to my family. My body belongs to my work. My soul belongs to the woods.

I liked it the way it was. Rolling into camp on a Saturday morning, unpack and get things squared away, get a fire going, sit around and catch up with guys I haven’t seen for months. Spend the day Sunday relaxing and shooting the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), eating good camp food and getting ready for the big day on Monday morning.
Been doing it that way for half a century.
I guess I’ll head up to camp Friday evening after work now and get everything done in a couple hours what I used to be able to take a day and a half to do. That's also my take on it. Go up to Cherry Grove and get settled in, then over the weekend make the rounds visiting everybody else at camp. Just seems like the end of a old tradition.

Want an increase? Open deer bear and turkey together. Surely the majestic trophies have been studied inside and out by now, or maybe we need some more studie$. Perhaps a slot limit on carp and groundhogs lol.

As a Camp owner in a state forest in PA on leased ground, I fully support the move to open the regular deer season on Saturday. This is about giving our youth hunters more opportunity, nothing less and nothing more.
The wife and I will be delighted to get another day afield together hunting for deer, and in a couple years, the grandkids will begin hunting with us. Our family crew of hunters will all likely take advantage of the extra day hunting, and we will enjoy all the time we can make together at Camp as it is never enough in this very busy world.
Thank you PAGC for making a perhaps unpopular decision as voiced by a loud vocal minority, this is the right decision for the future of the sport and will serve hunting well over time.
The good lord has blessed me with the ability to trap. I trap to honor him and those who lived the explorer/trader/trapper life that I cannot.

I read where they passed opening deer season on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Sunday hunting is sure to be passed soon with a sat. Opener. Here in Montana it was traditionally on the 3rd Sunday of the month of October but it has been put to Saturday a while back.
