BB - Game and Fisheries Committee Testimony. - Sport
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 ...
By their own survey 65% voted Monday, 35% voted Saturday(?).
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
He is absolutely right
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 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.
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.
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!!!!!
please go back to Monday
Why?
Monday… Monday…Monday….
Boy 205 subscribers good job! You showed your minions of the pancake breakfast club.
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...
Keep it on Saturday gives me more time to hunt
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.
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.
Please bring back the Monday opener
You dont have to go out on opening day. 😂
That's like telling kid at Christmas he has to wait 2 days to open his presents ...
195 subscribers to this channel. How do you say majority without laughing ?
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?
I like Saturday
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.
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.
Unfortunately the pgc will never go back to Monday hunting, too afraid to lose a license sale
Who's the clown with his little cowboy hat on 😂😂😂
He is Jack Marks and vet and well respected person involved in hunting fir his lifetime etc ..
His family worked for PGC in high positions ..
Jack is pro Monday and he kmof nice person ..
