Got two ideas for reg changes in the seasons we currently have.
Idea #1. Would it be all that bad to pull in-line out of the archery season and give it a dedicated two week season to take place when archery ends and when gun season begins? This would extend the in-line season, be it's own dedicated season, and have it take place during the rut. Not only would this be a benefit to the hunters but I'm sure the PGC would see increased revenues as more people would purchase muzzleloader tags to hunt that season. Plus they may be able to get more for the tags too (Heck, I'd pay more to hunt in-line for two weeks during the rut). Plus there would be the ripple effect of a local economic boost to local gun shops to sell more in-line gear.
Idea #2. Also would it be such a bad idea to have an extended doe only gun season from when gun season traditionally ends to when flintlock season begins and to have this as a separate optional tag to purchase? That would basically double the current season from two weeks to fours weeks. This also benefit the PGC by providing an additional revenue for the PGC in selling an extended two week doe season tag.
Plus bth items would also spark additonal revenues to the PGC for the non-resident tags sold to those that come to PA for Thanksgiving and Christmas and now can hunt durng these times.
Just a though....
