I'd like to just see december as the entire firearm gun season... and maybe allow antlerless only tags in the 2nd half of december. Spread out the pressure a bit.

Also I'm not sure I like the idea of stressing deer in the middle of winter, with long seasons at this time of year. As well I don't want to see seasons so late that deer are dropping their antlers...and mature bucks may be getting shot in place of does.

Personally here in IL if we had just a month long december gun season, I think we would have no need for special seasons, and personally I'm kinda annoyed with all sorts of new seasons etc... 1st and 2nd shotgun, now muzzleloader....next late season gun/antlerless only, early youth gun firearm...

1 gun season, december! Guys can hunt for that big buck anytime of the month, all those antlerless tags can be used whenever, or perhaps just leaving that 1st week to the non late season antlerless guys.

Simple and easy and would get the job done I think.
