I think it depends on the situation. Here in PA an overall extension of seasons would not be beneficial because there are around 1 million hunters in this state and extending seasons statewide would be detrimental to the deer herd. However, there are certain areas, particularly in the suburbs that don't get as much pressure due to their location and as a result have overpopulation in their herds. Extending the season in these areas may be useful. My point is, that it depends on where you are talking about, how many hunters there are, and the health of the herd in the area.
