I mostly get annoyed with the special interest seasons, in GA, where I hunt mostly, we have archery (including cross bows) for a month, then "not so primitive weapons" for a week then the rifle opener. By the time of the opener, the deer have been harassed for over five weeks. I really don't care what people hunt with, if they enjoy the challenge of the bow, more power to them, but the season should start on the same day for everyone. Deer aren't really hard to kill, having access to land that has deer on it is the real challenge. Public land in the south is too dangerous and private leases are very hard to find these days. Hunters from So Florida lease up every available land from GA to AL and everything in between.
