I would have preferred if they kept the opening day for deer on the Monday following Thanksgiving. While I never took part in the events, it was nice to see everyone out on the weekend before, buying new socks, boots, etc. Even hitting the range to get that final sight in on their rifles. I always had my gear and guns ready long before the first day.
I don't really care one way or the other when the opening day is. I take 3 weeks of vacation starting the Friday before gun bear season opener and I'm off until the last day of gun deer season. What it this year's opening day doing to be like?? Well, I guess it will be more crowded in the woods, which I guess is what the PGC wants. More people moving around should mean more game being moved. We'll see.
But, based on the lack of deer I saw last year, I don't know if there are that many to move around!!
