No one is forcing you to hunt Saturday, sit around camp and do what u normally do? The more time I can get out hunting with friends and family the better. My son is 7 and I cant get him out much because of school. Saturday opener is great for us and sunday would be even better. Exactly! The guys who hunt from a camp are having a real hissy fit over this change to a Saturday start. Most think their socializing is more important than making it easier for working people to get the time to hunt. It also much easier for many fathers to take their kid hunting on a Saturday than any other day of the week. This is the best move the game commission has made for a long time. BTW, I am a camp owner and I don't think the socializing at camp should be a concern of the PGC. And, by far, most PA hunters do not hunt from a camp.

If this would have happened when we were still students, we'd have been thrilled and you know it.

Now there's a hot steaming load of bullcrap if I ever smelt one. I would expect no less from you.

Back in the 70s when I was State Game Officer in Ohio, we had no Sunday Hunting, but guess which day of the week I made more arrest than any other for hunting? If you guest Sunday you were correct. Of course you were allowed to trap on Sundays. If you had traps set you had to check them on Sunday like every other day of the week.

What’s the matter grackle, your friends get sick of your bullcrap and don’t want to “socialize” with you at camp anymore. That would explain why you don’t think that is very important.
Eh...wot?

Socialize at camp?
I'm glad we start on a Saturday so the working man and high school kids can enjoy opening day.

Its PA, so once the game commission is done with screwing around with the dates, one of the sundays has to be the second sunday in a month with two full moons in it and the arrow tips have to be out of stone collected from the northern side of the Susquehanna river. The second sunday is open for non semi fully automatic rifles that shoot a straight wall cartridge.................. and so on, you get my drift. I have read the PA hunting regs a few years back when I visited a friend up there. By the time I got through reading them, the hunting season was over.

They should just bring it in Thanksgiving day. That way kids are already off school and will have at least 3 days (Thurs. Fri. And Sat.)o hunt....if that's the real reason for bringing it in early and hunting on Sunday. But it ain't. Explain to those of us outsiders again why you wouldn't want Sunday hunting and opener on a Saturday?

You got that right. Many who hate the Saturday start freely admit they don't like it because it changes the social activities at camp. They forget that for most hunters it is still about hunting. I can hunt any day I want now. Many of my friends who still work full time either have to take a day's vacation or miss a day's pay to hunt a Monday start. The Monday open was the dumbest of all of PA game laws. Thanks goodness there are enough sane folks to see the need for changing it.
