I would like to see bow season stay open all year long (never close even during Juvi) and be either sex state wide.

Switch back to the ML season we had in years past.
Make the one-time change in ML we had this year permanent, so we always have the first two weeks of November as ML, instead of splitting it.

4) This one may be less popular with many hunters, but end deer season on January 1st. I like that one....
We got lambasted when we recommended that about 4 or 5 years ago.

Change from giving out antlerless tags in Unit B and just give hunters more opportunities to kill antlerless deer during the season... One way is to let hunters shoot an antlerless deer anytime during the two weeks of MZ in all counties of Unit B. Example: Why give out 800 doe tags in Anderson Co. but on the other hand only let you shoot an antlerless deer the first few days of MZ season in Anderson Co. Also I have never understood the tags being late season rifle after most does are bred...

I'll speak in terms of "statewide", rather than regarding any specific county.
1) ALL deer season segments become "either-sex", without anyone having to pay extra to kill an "antlerless" deer.
2) Statewide "antlered" buck limit changed to two (2), with "antlerless" limits varying by specific units and counties. But until and unless a hunter has harvested "a" deer, he wouldn't even have to think about whether "any" deer is legal game --- hunter's choice --- 1st deer he wants to kill becomes legal statewide.
3) Change the current December archery segment(s) to "rifle, ML, archery", i.e. just a continuance of the "rifle" season, with the traditional archery season ending in late October or early November. Basically, we would have an early archery season, then a muzzleloader season, and then a traditional rifle season (with no going back and forth). And then no reason not to open up archery season a week earlier, thus adding back the December "archery only" days in September.
4) This one may be less popular with many hunters, but end deer season on January 1st. Basically, those late-season gun-hunting days would be added in December (by converting archery days to gun), thus very little deer-hunting opportunity would be lost by anyone, and for many, this would be a net gain in hunting opportunity, particularly those in counties where there's still rut activity going on during the current December archery segment.
