Sunday hunting is officially expanding in Connecticut and Pennsylvania, marking a major victory for hunters, conservationists, and rural communities. In this episode, Fred is joined by representatives of each state's fish and wildlife agency to break down the new legislation that opens up Sunday hunting opportunities, explore how it impacts hunter access, and discuss what it means for the future of hunting and wildlife conservation. Steve Smith, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Game Commission joins us to look at Pennsylvania's recent rescinding of the Sunday hunting prohibition in PA, tracing the decades-long legislative battle and the positive ripple effects it's already creating for hunters and wildlife management. Jenny Dickson, Director of Wildlife, Bureau of Natural Resources, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection then joins the show to share insights on the Connecticut Sunday hunting bill, its potential to boost youth hunting participation, and how it benefits local economies tied to the hunting and fishing industry. Whether you're passionate about deer hunting, turkey hunting, or waterfowl hunting, this conversation explains how expanded hunting days can help sportsmen and women spend more time in the field, strengthen family traditions, and contribute even more to conservation funding. Key Takeaways for Hunters and Anglers: CSF has been a leading champion of removing restrictions on Sunday hunting for well over a decade – passing over 20 pro-Sunday hunting bills in 9 states. Sunday hunting legislation expands hunting opportunities for deer, turkey, small game, and more. Youth hunting participation is vital for the future of hunting traditions and conservation funding. Sportsmen and women contribute significant revenue to conservation efforts through license fees and excise taxes. The economic impact of hunting reaches far beyond license sales, benefiting local outfitters, retailers, and tourism businesses. Connecticut's new Sunday hunting law takes effect October 1st. Waterfowl hunting regulations remain unchanged despite the new law in Connecticut. Hunters must secure landowner permission before hunting on private land, in Connecticut. More flexible hunting days help optimize hunting strategies and time afield. Pennsylvania's Sunday hunting law is expected to boost hunter participation and conservation dollars. Decades-long legislative efforts led to successful Sunday hunting legalization in Pennsylvania. Expanded hunting days support better wildlife management and sustainable game populations. Repealing Sunday hunting restrictions provide families more time to hunt together and introduce new hunters to the outdoors. Connecticut and Pennsylvania could become models for other states considering Sunday hunting bills.

When Steve Smith set out to hitchhike from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario to Canada's west coast back in 1968, he was just an eighteen-year-old hippie with an appetite for adventure. But a short way into his journey, a reckless decision to steal a car landed him in police custody. Afraid of getting caught with the two tabs of acid in his pocket, Steve popped them into his mouth. It was one of the worst decisions of his life.Mistaking his drug trip for a mental breakdown, the authorities placed him in Ontario's notorious Oak Ridge mental health facility. While there, not only did he find himself shoulder-to-shoulder with people like notorious child killer Peter Woodcock and mass murderers Matt Lamb and Victor Hoffman, he also fell into the hands of someone worse: Dr. Elliot T. Barker.Over the next eight months, Barker subjected Steve and the other patients to a battery of unorthodox experiments involving LSD, scopolamine, methamphetamines, and other drugs. Steven also experienced numerous other forms of abuse and torture.Following his release, Steve continued to suffer the aftereffects of his Oak Ridge experience. For several years, he found himself in and out of prison—and back to Oak Ridge—before he was finally able to establish himself as a successful entrepreneur.Once he began investigating what happened to him during his youth, not even Steve was prepared for what he would discover about Barker, Oak Ridge, and one of the darkest periods in Canada's treatment of mental health patients. The question remains: Was Oak Ridge and Dr. Barker trying to cure psychopaths or trying to create and direct them?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
