Maybe they should take a lesson from Idaho's experience. Years ago, Idaho's opening day was on Saturday. Then we had a spell when deer numbers dropped way down. They switched it to Wednesday to cut the opening day pressure and to hopefully have more deer survive. After deer numbers revived, many hunters wanted to return to Saturday while others preferred an opener with lower hunter numbers. They compromised by going to a date rather than a day of the week. General season opens Oct 10 (5th in some areas with larger deer numbers) no matter what day of the week it falls on. They did the same with elk, opening on Oct 15. It's been working well this way for a long time. No matter what day you prefer, it'll come around again in a few years.
