Bow and rifle seasons should not overlap. Agreed.
How about bow then rifle then muzzle loader?
Alot of seasons go to December 20th already.
How bout adding a week of muzzy at the end?
Limited draw muzzy of course, and if I'm drawn I can't hunt the other 2 seasons of course.

How long do you think it would take before a bow hunter who was stalked with within 20 yards of a big buck was either shot, or had lead flying over him?
Honestly, that's the only way to implement what you are suggesting. Otherwise, you couldn't keep the 2 month bow season without giving rifle hunters a 2 month season which clearly isn't an option considering that rifle hunters already take 85% of the harvest in a 4 week period. So yes, in essence, you are saying that the bow season should be shortened, unless you suggest, as I said, having overlapping seasons.
