Maybe Gary Alt has the answer, if you can find him.
My heart belongs to my family. My body belongs to my work. My soul belongs to the woods.

Not trying to make u mad lugnut. We need more younger hunters. Anything to get kids out should be done. How many young people go to your camp? I think sundays and Saturday opener are good. I have a nephew that wants to hunt but says he is to busy. He is 24, single, lives at home and has a 40 hr week job. How much more time do u need!! I work 10 plus hours a day and manage my own business. My son is 7 and wants to hunt and trap. I know nothing about trapping but will be trying it this year because of him. The bottom line is hunting, trapping and anything outdoors is going to be gone if we don't get kids into it. But I never understood why people would go to camp the weekend before and walk around to their stands and shoot rifles in. That should have been done before. Seems like that would run the deer off.
I agree that we need to recruit more young people into our sports of trapping, hunting and fishing. Killing a 53-year-old tradition (1963 was the last time deer season didn't start the Monday after Thanksgiving) is NOT the way to do it. It has had the opposite effect of causing many older hunters to stay home and not hunt. License sales might take a big hit next year. The only way they don't is if most of those guys have lifetime licenses. Another kick in the guts for the old guys.
Eh...wot?

Dumb question from a guy from Wisconsin. Why was there a restriction on hunting on a Sunday in the first place? Zim Blue Laws & the Farm Bureau.
Eh...wot?

Old Blue law zim. All you complaining about change make my head hurt. Accept change, or get left in the dust of history. Take a minute and think about the future of the outdoor sports. Not yourselves How many people do you really think this change will recruit into our sport? And have you considered how many camp owners and members it will alienate?
Eh...wot?

I know Bigbrownie, Deer Camp, including the weekend before the Monday opener, is something you have to experience to fully appreciate.

Here's how many extra licenses they will sell with Sunday hunting, zero.
Saturday opener about the same percentage wise, no measurable difference.
Trapping will be done in our lifetime, probably average age of license buyers is mid fifties. Thanks for the doom and gloom Can you give me the Saturday powerball numbers? Thanks

Good grief
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Hunt on Sunday....buy beer on Sunday ...at Your local Grocery or Gas Station...Come to the “ Live Free or Die “ state...
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
