Change for the sake of change is useless. With all these people spouting about more opportunity, why not start it Thanksgiving Day? It is a holiday so most working people are off, kids are out of school, everyone can be out in the woods. If the working folks take a vacation day on Friday they get to hunt the first 3 days of rifle. Don't get me wrong, I am not totally resistant to change but Dale K is right, people are not sitting at home saying "If they only started rifle season on the Saturday after Thanksgiving I would start hunting." A Monday opener affects some while a Saturday opener affect others and not everyone can be pleased all the time. If you really want to hunt you have to make the best of the time you have. Rant Over!
