I am 58 year hunter in Clinton county .. Active in sportsman's clubs .. Very few hunters I talk to want Saturday opener .. Kids get off 2 days of school Mon Tues .. Saturday opener has ruined tradition and business etc .. Do right thing return it to Monday ...

Boy 205 subscribers good job! You showed your minions of the pancake breakfast club.

Well 2 NON RESIDENTS flapping their gums. You people have no clue still. All your BS facts and lies. Oh by the way REP Brian Smith represents Jefferson and Indiana county in which case as a Jefferson county resident he works for and represents me. You have no idea how many of us are voting his ass out. Your nothing but a breakfast buffet of crying babies

You dont have to go out on opening day. 😂

Id like to know who voted.. i know no one asked me or anyone i know

I'm for the Saturday opener, and how about all Sundays open hunting like other states.

I like Saturday

Please bring back the Monday opener

Keep it Saturday. Enjoy hunting with my boys. If it starts Monday there’s just not enough time. Even if they get Monday off that’s one day. I would have to leave camp early to get home in time to get a good night sleep. Still haven’t heard a good argument to go back to Monday.

They say that Saturday start gives them more days to hunt. Well being retired I hunted three days during the week and some Saturdays. I hunted various gamelands and on most days I could count on two fingers how many hunters I came across.

After many many years of not being able to get off work the two weeks of deer season finally being able to was the best thing for me and my family being able to hunt with family members the greatest bonding of all time!!!!!

By their own survey 65% voted Monday, 35% voted Saturday(?).

Keep it on Saturday gives me more time to hunt

Who's the clown with his little cowboy hat on 😂😂😂

Keep it like it currently is. My dad is a 79 year old hunter whom has lived his live being known as the mountain man and he even says the same thing as I do. The new opener is good. No one is forcing you to participate in the new opening day. Just a lame excuse for people to sit in a musty old building drinking all weekend only to not go out that Monday anyways.

And talking about small businesses losing money and some probably having to close up shop, what happened with the monday opener, well friday evening people began their journey to camp stopping at small businesses on the way and most camps being remote that the only place to go get last minute items on saturday was small mom and pop businesses, we lost so many out of state hunters because of the saturday opener, maryland opens that saturday also, so marylanders that hunted pa looked forward to the monday opener to be able to hunt pa. These commisioners are worthless and we need to change to where they are voted in so the majority have a say

They don't fucking care about hunters they don't care about traditions they don't care about family time so long as they get theirs, they only care about money and thats it nothing else. Let's fight to make big bore air guns legal for deer in pa. I emailed them time and time again, recently just being ignored no response. But when I did get response it was always that is not in our hands and said to contact a local senator, well the local senators told me the exact same thing that they passed that to put it in the game commissions hands.

You know how many drunk people are hunting saturday morning from drinking friday night.... Not the safest thing.... Go back. To monday and then let us hunt on saturday and sunday weekends after...

He is absolutely right

The government is stupid. Look at the top of it. I spent four years working for them. They're all idiots.

Oooooh! We got the same 0.0002% of PA hunters to make the same complaints they’ve made for 5 years at every public comments session… (rolleyes) That’s gonna convince Commissioners and Legislators to flip (rolleyes) I thought Randy said the opener issue isn’t a popularity contest? Yet here he is claiming that because 20 folks continue to show up to a meeting vs 6 that showed up supporting the current opener, it’s a win? LOL How much GoFundMe money did you waste on this?

Absurd. There is no benefit to a Monday return other than accommodating the feelings of a few. Excuses, excuses, excuses. There exists no legitimate excuse as to why one cannot have camp ready for Saturday morning. If you’re the “I scout and sight my rifle in that weekend”, you shouldn’t be dictating wildlife management.

195 subscribers to this channel. How do you say majority without laughing ?

Comical. The majority does not want Monday. Youth decline has happened since the 1990’s. Sports schedules and single parent homes have changed as well. Include all evidence not just what benefits you.

please go back to Monday

Commissioners are a bunch of C####.

Monday… Monday…Monday….

Retired hunter and I want the opening day back to Monday.. Tradition and small business to maintain enough cash input to keep the doors open

Thank you for all your efforts. The Saturday opening has actually DECREASED our time in the woods. I will not hunt on Sunday

I've seen over and over by many members of your FB group that they always left on Friday morning to go to camp, so what does Black Friday have to do with anything if they always left Friday morning anyway?

Thanks Randy,Dan,and Jennifer we appreciate your efforts. We will not tire,we will not falter,we will not fail.

I love the Saturday opening. It works out great for my family and work schedule. I can hunt three days and be back in time to help with the kids going back to school on Tues. and when my son and daughter are old enough to go they won’t have miss any school. Schools have gotten a lot stricter on days missed without a doctor’s note since I was in school. So we’ll be creating our own new traditions. And for reference I’m a 4 hour drive to camp.

Randy, Jennifer, Dan - Keep up the fight!! I can't thank you enough for all your time and effort to move the Opener back to Monday! The PGC seems to be to big for there own good - The arrogance they display in this issue is unreal. Let common sense prevail !!

Great podcasts! keep up the good work! let's get this dumpster fire reversed

Our camp went from 20 or more for opening day a couple of years ago, to only 8 this year.

"Hunting families have been alienated by this move." By giving them two extra days to hunt, on the one long autumn weekend which the majority of working adults and kids already have off? This USP/Monday opener coalition derides youth hunts, charities like Hunters Sharing The Harvest, and most doe tags. The PAGC and rational hunters want to get people in the woods hunting more, while your cause is trying everything possible, including legislatively, to limit it. I'm a third generation camp hunter, and the change to Saturday has only made the tradition better. It seems to me like you care more about camping than hunting itself, maybe the State will change the PAGC to the PACC for you!

If you are waiting till a day or a few days before rifle to get prepared to hunt you shouldn’t be in the woods. If it’s not safe because of the new way please show statistics and how it’s directly related. Quit acting like the traditions have to stop. Sight the rifles in a week before, a month before.

Thank you George keep involved spreading the word

Thank you all for your dedication to this very important issue in saving our hunting tradition in the great state of Pennsylvania.

If transparency is what you seek, transparency should be what you deliver! Where are all the funds sportsmen and sportsmens groups donated to fund CWD research by Dr. Bastian?????

Aww of course that's what its all about sending you crooks some money

There are not 100s of thousands of supporters of you. Just shut up

I think you must be liberals. You cry and snivel like liberals. Saturday is here to stay. Give it up!!

Don’t send these jackass’s a penny.

Since when is hunting about money.

I’ve never seen man-children cry as much as you two over getting additional time to hunt. Those chins suggest you do considerably more crying than hunting.

That paper has always been in the PGC back pocket. Nothing new on that.

The PGC, The PFBC, The PA DCNR, and The PA DEP are all Institutions that perform similar functions for the Residents of The State of Pennsylvania, and, can grouped together as to function. Each are Autonomous and conduct their affairs as they see fit individually. It is the PGC's Policy to not record the general public speaking at their Public Meeting, that is why they do not "release" it Randy, because it doesn't exist. You a Q"anon subsriber by any chance? They set their own policies as to the functionality and were given this freedom upon inception via statute. For you to say things like it's a lack of Transparency that the PGC does not include Public Comment Segment of their meetings while comparing them to the PFBC is a further testimony to your lack of knowledge of how State Entities Function via their policy and I would suggest your carrying a handkerchief like the guys from the old days in your breast pocket, you know to wipe that egg of your face...

It is also laughable that you made a podcast complaining about censorship when you are literally the king of censoring folks who disagree with your opinion on your facebook page.

I wouldn't say the unquestionable majority testified in favor of the Monday opener at the last meeting considering ya'll had one more than Saturday. You should thank the PGC for not broadcasting the public comment otherwise you wouldn't be able to skew the facts in your favor.
