Default bow/firearm hunt question

Do you guys bow and firearm hunt? I do, but i only bowhunt becauseFlorida has a bow only season that comes before general gun season. If Florida only had a general season as some states, i would never have owned a bow.

Thats the only reason i'm looking into a crossbow is so i can hunt alot longer. The bow season is a lot longer than our shotgun season. Shotgun season is a week, bow is like 3-4 months.

Archery season: Reflex Highlander compound bow.
Muzzle loader season: Reflex Highlander compound bow.
General firearms season: Savage .308 rifle, Marlin .30-30 rifle, and Remington 870 12GA (depending on countyordnances).
