[QUOTE="cbrslider, post: 1544505, member: 108496"] I am really torn on this issue. I remember the weekend anticipation for the first day of buck season on Monday. Laying in bed unable to sleep, hoping for the big one. I remember the tough two weeks of buck season, hunting my butt off for [I]any[/I] buck. Then came our two day doe season. If the harvest wasn't up where it should be, the PGC would add an extended day. Those two days were also tough days after people were in the woods daily chasing deer around looking for a buck for two prior weeks. Then the seasons were combined. Sure made things easier in my neck of the woods. I was older and was more into trophy hunting instead of filling the freezer. I'd see tons of doe and small buck. But I'd rather wait for a "trophy".......a lot of tag soup those years. Then came along my kids. I couldn't wait to get them into the woods. I bought a blind big enough for 4 of us to sit in. The anticipation came back like I had as a kid, now in their faces. We sounded like a 4 piece band in there between thermos bottles of hot chocolate and coffee, candy wrappers, fidgeting, coughing, fighting, etc. Times I would never trade. Things were great even though we didn't get a deer. Now the boys are old enough to hunt. I hope and pray the excitement and love for the sport can be instilled in them. This is where Sunday hunting would really help us out. If they were to still have the first Monday off with a Saturday start, I could support it. I'm looking at maximizing our time in the woods against their busy school activity schedules and my work schedule. Sorry for the long post. Gave me a chance to reminisce and explain that it is a tough choice to support or not support the change. [/QUOTE]
