That would suck. Here in IA, we get to bowhunt from Oct 1 to Dec 1 with only a 7 day muzzleloader season in mid oct. No guns allowed during the rut; that's why our deer get big. Then shotgun season opens for the 1st 3 weeks in Dec. and closesand then us bowhunters and muzzleloaders get to hunt until Jan 10th. Now that is a bow season.
