-Rifle Season opens the Monday after Thanksgiving.
-There’s no school the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Opening Saturday to then close on Sunday and reopen on Monday is ludicrous.

This is a move by non-hunters to eliminate Monday as a school holiday, getting kids back to school so non-hunter parents don’t have to deal with them.

That’s the road map.


Many schools have already eliminated that Monday as a day off. This move is being done to pave the way for Sunday hunting.
