The problem with low hunter turn out for rifle is not going to change with a Saturday opener, why? 'cause of all the "opening days" the PGC gave hunters. And the hunters ate it up, they have an archery opener, a early mz opener, a youth /and Sr opener, a buck opener and a buck and doe opener, a post Christmas flintlock opener for Christ sake why all these seasons? When there were numbers of deer if you hunted YOU MADE TIME TO GO HUNTING! Camps were full, kids came along before they were old enough to hunt hell you could not get a motel run from one buck season to the next in parts of the state there were waiting lists to get into hunting camps,etc.etc...what happened what is missing ??? DEER NUMBERS SUCK KIDS WILL NOT KEEP AT BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS GAVE IT UP. SINGLE PARENT FAMILY KIDS DO NOT GET INTRODUCED TO IT...that is what is killing hunting in Pa and no Saturday opening of rifle season is going to change that.
