Clem,
You know my history and the love of the bow. With all seriousness, what if the season was any weapon for 3.5 months instead of bow for 1 month and gun for 2.5 months? Do you think that conversion of the first month to any weapon would increase the deer harvest? I expect it would a ton! And thus I would expect a corresponding decrease in limits to follow. Just be careful what you ask for, you might get it.
