sunday hunting question

being from ohio, and having been able to hunt on sundays, i am not sure i understand the opposition to sunday hunting in pa. all the years that i worked six days, it was nice to be able to sneak into the swamp or woods for a few hours on my day off. can anyone give me an idea about the reasons of those against it?

Hey we all have choices. If you don't like hunting on Sundays don't go. If you don't want people on your land on Sundays don't let them on.But if your kid has no ball practice on Sunday and wants to go hunting why should he be denied? It should be a choice not a restriction.

I think alot of it is the noise factor. There are homes around the gamelands and other public property. It was on Erie's news that private land owners have threatened to post their property if Sunday hunting is implemented.

Having said that....I hope it gets passed.

Then there are the ones who fundamentally agree with it, but afraid the PGC will just use it to further reduce the deer herd.

Yep.

I think that the farm bureau is full of it.if all of the deer that they say we have is causing as much damage as they say they are ,why in the world would they post thier land? I agree with a certain outdoor writer that stated that maybe hunters should charge farmers for pest control for taking deer & hogs off of thier property. I do know of a farmer around here that is always complaining about crop damage & yet will not let anyone on to hunt.I don't feel too sorry for him.If a farmer doesn't want hunting on Sunday,all he has to do is put up a sign. That way the farmers that really do have damage & want to let us hunt on Sunday can do what they want with THIER land.Also we hunters can do so on the land that we bought(state game lands). sam
