One season, any weapon

Are there ANY states where hunting season is one long season with no weapons restrictions? Gun, bow, ML, X-Bows all legal, all season long?
Do you think this is a good idea & way to operate the hunting seasons, or do you think it would be total chaos?
Do you think its the dumbest idea in the world?

Up here in my area of Ontario the season(s) run like this....2008.....
Bow season opens September 20
ML season opens October 4
Rifle season opens October 11
They all close on November 15 for non-residents and December 15 for residents.
Non-Residents get one tag for buck only.
I believe it sucks. It wasn't bad until the last few years when every Tom Dick and Harry started coming form out east and shooting about any buck that moves near the road.
What also sucks is that once ML season opens I have to wear orange, even when bow hunting.

I know you "must" have been talking about how it might be in your state (could be wrong). But can you say it is bad for the state doing it? It's the way it is for a reason.

It is not like that here andI am thankful for that.
But it's that way for a reason in SC.

Gotcha. I don't want it that way in NC, either.....and that's just being selfish RE: the quality of hunting we still have (everything's relative, right?).
But it's that way for a reason in SC.

Guns with foliage on the trees stillin my mind is a bad idea....
Our bowhunter's do a great job of killing deer before gun season.... After the rut hits our first gun season and they take a large share of deer... That is followed bythe second gun season... Thenthe latemuzzleloader season... Late archery wraps our season up....
Our setup here is rather effective.
