Sunday gun hunting

[Bandwagon]

you're right on that one. BUT every other non goose hunter. including duck hunters got more opportunities to chase stuff on the weekends when they were off.

We struggled with loosing the jan late season goose hunt but some years the weather screwed up that entire hunt anyway.

When we looked at all the opportunities for ALL the other hunter groups it was evident which way to go for us.

I keep hearing about all the "other opportunities" but the math does not add up to me, I guess the deer guys get one day but that's about it.

Turkeys, rabbits, coyotes, ducks, doves.....

yep... and don't forget grouse, pheasant, woodcock, squirrels i hate only being able to chase the little suckers on saturdays

sunday gun hunting imo far outweighs the negatives of losing a single goose week in january

Sunday gun hunting is particularly important to those who can't always or can't easily get out on Saturdays. It gives you flexibility.

On balance, I would rather see Sunday gun hunting than a late goose season, but I can understand the goose hunters point of view.

All those game other than the ducks are available outside of the waterfowl season. Again no advantage. I don't understand the rational to condensing the season, as a hunter I want to extend the season and get the most available weekends in a season. Sounds like most guys have work and family commitments.

Hey don't blame me.
We, as a group of hunters, here in our township, ALL decided that the Sunday gun hunt was worth it.

If goose hunters are passionate about their sport and they have 90 days of gunning - just how many geese does one need to kill to say it was a successful season?

In reality no one really lost any hunting days or opportunities. The full 90 days was still there. It was just condensed back to where it all originally was.

i'm not sure what you mean to condensing the season, a waterfowler gets 90 days no matter what, whether they're all in the regular waterfowl season or tack on an extra week in the late season. Other hunters straight up lose those sundays, we don't get an extra week of grouse, rabbit or few days of turkey etc. As you said most guys have work during the week and family commitments on the weekends. an extra day every weekend goes a long way to help people get out.

I'm one of those people who laments no Sunday gun hunting. For me the entire Turkey season works out to like 5 days. Then stuff happens, family obligations etc and I end up getting out for 2 or 3 of them only whereas I'm more often available on Sundays to go out!!!

No need to lament. If sunday is your primary day do as I do find places to hunt that has sunday hunting. Plenty of places to hunt on sundays.

One of my landowners informed me the other day that I was "welcome to hunt somewhere else on Sunday". Just because the Municipality has approved it doesn't mean the landowners will consent. I respect his wishes of course and I will hunt somewhere else on Sunday.
