In WV it overlaps but I don't have any private land to hunt and I don't go out while the "Orange Army" are flinging bullets. But if I did I would bow hunt only.

Mr. Buster, you can hunt in NY during rifle season.
We hunt bow only and always will.
We bowhunt right through "regular season" you can use whatever hunting impliment that is legal in your area Ex. our area 7m is now Rifle, shotgun, handgun, Bow and muzzleloading so all of these can be used during regular season most referred to as "gun season".
I hunted 1 year ever with a gun then switched to bow that was 15 years ago. There are many State Parks, State Land and area's in Albany Co. and Monroe Co. that are bow only. Most of the State parks you have to have a free permit and they open to bowhunters on the opening day of the regular season for a safe haven to bowhunters, most of these area are pretty quiet also as most people have switched over to gun.
If you'd like to know some of these areas to try send me a PM.
good luck to all
