[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1544983, member: 36999"] So I was looking back through some reports on the PGC website and came across the hunter survey for the 2011, 2013 and 2016 hunting years. In there they asked what days you hunted during the rifle season then compiled the data into a handy chart as shown below along with the links.

I fully expect if the Saturday opener is implemented that the Monday numbers would drop 20% or more along with the Tuesday and Wednesday numbers dropping into the mid 20s. Additionally based on the survey in 2016, 65% of hunters supported keeping the opener on Monday while only 35% opposed it. That is a 3% swing from 2013 when it was 62% to 38%. [/QUOTE]
