CA has Zones. "A" zone which is also know as coastal runs almost the length of the state is 2 bucks fork or better runs second Sat in Aug for 44 days. Some of the zones which are mostly draws run as short as a week or so and have various point restrictions.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

I hunt GA and AL.
GA usually starts bow season around mid-September, then ML and rifle start around mid-October. They run until he end of December.
AL usually starts bow season around mid-October, then rifle starts around mid-November. It runs until the end of January.
Between the two I can hunt deer ~4.5 months.

Virginia - First weekend in September to first weekend in January, then the QDM runs into March for many parts of the state.
Most of the season is archery in my area, a month or so of rifle and muzzleloader, then finishing out with archery mostly in QDM. Crossbows are legal in the State.
The license year rolls over on 01 July for the next year. This year will be the first year of Sunday hunting allowed on private lands, used to be 6 days a week only.
Six deer tags are printed as part of your annual license, and more can be purchased.

Our standard gun season in Iowa is fairly short. 1st season is usually only 5 days (1st Sat in Dec through the next Weds). 2nd gun season is the second Saturday through the next Sunday (9 days). You generally have to choose one or the other. We have a long bow season, though, Oct through Jan. We also have an early muzzleloader season in Oct and a late one in January and some counties have a late January anterless only season for about 2 weeks in January.

Bow Season starts mid October and runs through January . Muzzleloader season starts the Monday before rifle season starts in mid November through the end of rifle season . Rifle season is mid November through January . This is for the majority of the state . They have started extending the season for some Southern counties into mid February because of the later rut . This area may be extended this year .

depends where you are in the state and your weapon. If a person wanted to you could hunt from the last week of september till the 3rd week of January. 2 bucks and one doe If you hunt all weapons.If you draw doe tags you can get one or two more depending on the county and in archery only counties you can take quite a few more doe.

With the very long, liberal seasons and bag limits in many states, I can easily see why folks use small caliber rifles for much of their deer shooting.. If you don't get one today, you can always get a couple tomorrow.. Plus it sounds like much of this hunting is on private land with minimum pressure.. That would make for some very enjoyable, relaxed hunting.. If this is your situation, you are a very lucky hunter...

Statewide archery (buck and doe) in Pa kicks off around Oct 1 and runs to the middle of November. There is an overlapping weeklong muzzleloader season for antlerless deer, the rifle season (buck and doe) is 2 weeks right after Thanksgiving, and then archery and a Flintlock only season come in for 2 weeks after Christmas.
The special regs area around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh start earlier and run later.
Depending on where you hunt, we can hunt deer from the middle of September to the end of January. No Sundays though. And let's not argue about that in this thread.
Dale Philly area here. Starts September 20, and I can't be in the woods until the end of January...some days are doe only...depending on the weapon you are using.
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!

In good old Washington State modern firearm for deer is 9 days for either muley or whitetail bucks and you can be drawn for a doe tag in that same period. There is a late buck tag which depending on the area can last from 5 days to 14 days. The game dept. has found another revenue generator, which for $185 you can apply for a multi-season tag which allows you to hunt with a bow, muzzleloader, modern rifle, and then bow again in their seasons.

I knew I moved out of Washington for a reason!
The Deer archery season here in Montana is 43 (fourty three) days long - then on the same tag you can begin to Hunt with firearms (or continue to Hunt with your archery gear!) for 36 (thirty six!) more days!
79 days or so of Deer Hunting this year - I should be able to get'er done in that length of time?

Oregon has two basic seasons. Rifle Blacktail is about 5 weeks and is an over the counter tag. Muledeer is a draw tag and we get 12 days, which always includes 2 weekends.
