I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the surface, it sounds like it would make it easier for kids to go hunting. I am not sure that is true. The kids have to want to go. I think a borderline-interested kid will probably be more interested in going hunting if he is missing school (or already closed for that reason). It may turn out to be harder to pull a kid away from his/her friends, girlfriend/boyfriend, or other weekend plans. Taking away the day off (school closed or otherwise) will make it less special I think. we'll see what happens.
