You are right, sorta. Some hunters got the right to hunt extra Sundays in the seasons they hunt, but other hunters did not get that opportunity. Fact
Some hunters got the ability to hunt extra Sundays in some of the seasons they hunt, but some other hunter did not get that opportunity in all of the seasons they hunt....

Im sure they may be 1 or 2 who only hunt the flintlock season, and them fellas sure didn't benefit from this. But then again them fellas arent on here raising holy heck about it either so I dunno.
 
I must have missed that part. Where does it say the late season hunters, and spring turkey hunters got what everybody else got?
Because the same rules apply to everyone who hunts all of the seasons. All hunters have the same opportunities to hunt the same posted days in each of the seasons.
Some seasons after Xmas didn't add extra days, but they didn't lose any days either..
Just because one season might be someone's favorite, doesn't elevate to priority status. Every licensed hunter "got theirs". It is up to the individual to actually go do it.
 
Everyone got exactly the same thing which was someone no one had in the past. It is what each hunter is willing to do with the extra days that is the ONLY difference.

It is the Game Commission's responsibility to establish seasons and bag limits. The first objective in that process is consideration toward the resources. Secondary consideration is to provide hunting and trapping opportunities that don't adversely affect that first consideration.

The Game Commission has met their obligation in those respects so now it shifts to the hunter and/or trapper's responsibility to use their time to their best advantage within what opportunities they have been given. No one has told anyone they can't participate in any of the various seasons and hunting opportunities. If hunters or trappers are not able to figure out how to make the best use of their time and what opportunities to take best advantage of the various seasons, then the shame is ALL on them and no one else.

What extra days in spring gobbler do I have to make that choice?

That is an individual problem. Every licensed hunter has the exact same opportunity to hunt every single second of every single season equally.
If someone chooses not to hunt anything until Dec 26 and beyond, that is a them problem. They can hunt from September on, but don't. Thatnis a choice they make, it isn't forced upon them.

Now you’ve done it…
Can’t go around expecting people to take responsibility for their own choices. They don’t like that… 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You're right, flintlock/small game didn't "lose" anything, they just got hosed by not getting what everyone else got:rolleyes:

Why should a hunter who hunts the late season be treated any different because they choose to hunt the late season?

People do make their own choices. Some choose to hunt the late seasons, and spring gobbler. Please explain why they should not have the same choice to hunt Sundays like in the other seasons.

You are acting like many of the "everyone else" don't hunt anything from Dec 26 and after.
And you are acting like everone who hunts from Dec 26 and beyond doesn't hunt prior to those dates.
We (every licensed hunter) all have the same amount of days to hunt in every season. Every single one of us is in the same boat as fsr as days that we are allowed to hunt and we have ALL just been given the same amount of extra days. Those days are yours, turkeykillers, mine, and every other licensed hunters days. They might not fall in our favorite season(s) but we ALL got them equally.
Take the win.
 
The like 17/850,000 who only hunt spring gobbler lost nothing. Everyone else who hunts anything (except migratory birds) from Sept 14 to Dec 7 ALL got the same additional days. Plus every hunter has the same opportunity to participate in whatever season they want to.
Except for Sundays for late seasons and spring gobbler, like everybody else.

Those reasons were outlined in detail during the board meeting today. I suggest you watch the recording instead of ranting and raving without all the facts.
In the meantime, you’re welcome to explore the 10 added opportunities just like everyone else and use them or not use them as you see fit. Just like everyone else.

They aren't at all. They get to hunt the same set dates and days as everyone. Because they choose to limit their time afield, they are depriving themselves of opportunities they could have enjoyed earlier.
