So.... What's your point. Enlighten me... It was about the majority not always getting their way. In this case a large percentage of those who oppose this are baby boomers. Should they be deciding the future of hunting when in 15 years it will be hard finding a boomer afield?

Point is, sometimes you do the right thing regardless of what the majority want. So... You just do what you want to do regardless because you can... for the "peoples sake"... Those in power know best... Sounds like... ? They say a large percentage of PA hunters are baby boomers. And they were mostly opposed to the Saturday opener. That means the hunting landscape will be changing drastically here within 15 years. So we're going to need some new blood in the ranks. This was an effort to achieve that. I’m not a baby boomer. If only the right thing was a certainty.

Well, then let's just kick these "Boomers" out the door.. Yep... let's just do that. Nobody needs kicked out of anything. But if folks over 55 years old are heavily against changes that might bode well for the future of hunting, how much consideration do we give that? They aren't the future of hunting.

I have no way of knowing whether it is or isn't. Determining the preferences of today’s hunters proves challenge enough, let alone speculating what and how future generations are going to think and feel. To then justify policy based on said speculation is insane.

Obviously the GC worded the poll question wrong. Should have been: "Are you in favor of an extra Saturday to hunt Deer?" It probably would have passed 99%+

"Are you willing to give up a day of small game/turkey after Thanksgiving" ... Deer hunters gained a day, small game hunters lost a day... Was a good day for family and sons and daughters to be together and just simply hunt small game after a day of Thanksgiving; no more... It's all about kill'n deer... have at me...

Shyt, Pa. must be alot different than NY if anybody is worried about losing a day of small game hunting. I know tons of hunters here in NY and all anybody hunts anymore is Turkey and deer. I still do a fair bit of squrrel and rabbit hunting myself but I haven't run into another small game hunter afield in like 25 years. No antlers, no beards, no glory, ain't worth it, seems to be the attitude.
