I like the way it is now. Bow season, gun season, and then muzzleloader and late season bow. The bow season is just a lot less crazy and I have shot many more deer with a bow than gun. Regular deer gun, even on my private land, often does not pan out and I have skipped it a bunch of times - neighbors bait deer off my land. Muzzleloader, since it is after the regular gun is a nice time since the peace returns, even to public land. My private land is best in early season with bow - if guns were allowed, I am fairly certain that my success would be limited by all the neighbors gun hunting over their bait piles. Having different seasons better allows for all preferences better.
