Hey maybe we need a traditional shotgun season. No scopes just the rifled slugs through smooth bore barrels. This sounds about as all of these other single weapon seasons to me. I say archery, gun. Archery runs for entire time and gun from normal start through what is now muzzleloader use whatever you wish. If it makes a bang it is a gun, and if it throws an arrow/bolt it is archery.

If you read all the deer rules at once, not just this season rules, I believe it covers all the questions. Bonus antlerless licenses are good during all deer seasons, so they would be good during this season as well if it is passed.
I've mentioned open deer season with all legal weapons all the time, but Elmo may have the plan. Archery from 10-01 to the first Sunday in January and gun from the first Saturday after Veteran's Day to the first Sunday in January. That gives everybody plenty of time to kill what deer they need/want, there is already OBR to protect the antlers, the State gets a chance to kill more deer, and hunters can actually understand the rules they want them to play by.

With advances in technology the chances for wounding went down we loose all that when we go back to the primitive way of hunting. I am Talking Archery and firearms ,use them in the already respective seasons if you want to give up the technology and feel comfortable with the weapon .but we Don,t need a separate season for either

As long as the deer herd continues to expand, you'll continue to see alternate ways to manage the growth. Extra seaaons such as this offer a small tweek to the attempt to stabilize the population.

If they truly want to control the herd then open all weapons all season.. that isn't the case.. in my opinion they are trying to appease all involved and making a confusing mess along the way
