Hunters in UT only hunt the opener,LOL Come on, most hunters already has a license for Deer/elk/moose/small game/etc
So all you are really getting is the migratory bird stamp and that is good for the whole season.
I would think opening on a work day would cut into those opening day numbers of dove hunters vs opening on a day off like a Saturday, So why didn't they open it on Sat Aug 31st, so every one would be able to buy those "licenses" and hunt. NOPE had to be Monday.
I know if I only got so many days off from work, I would be saving them for deer or elk season, look at deer rifle season how many places/towns have hardly any kids in school, Why because they are out hunting. Education isn't more important then a Sunday start date for dove. I was always happy when I could a day off from school so I know most of those kids are too.
But Hell it really doesn't matter other then you think I'm anti Mormon, I just think there is people in Utah that are losing rights and that is usually the first thing that happens they take away the right of the smallest group and then move up to the next size group and take their rights. So standing up for those people should be everyone GODGIVEN duty because next time it might be your group that is targeted.
In California I will be out there on Sunday wacking some birds.
Hoping for a good dove season.
